Actual Economists’ Ratings


Below are listed economists and others who have written about international economics or exchange rates or other area of relevance to the single global currency.  Also included are people who work in this area and have offered their views.

Their views of the Single Global Currency are rated below according to the rating system on the previous page.  It is anticipated that the ratings of those listed will increase as more and more economists research and write about the Utility and Feasibility of the Single Global Currency.

We have asked these economists to rate their own views on the single global currency, and where the ratings are their own, it will be noted.   Otherwise, we have entered ratings on the basis of the published articles or their correspondence with us.   If we have misunderstood the views of any economist, please email us at [email protected] to enable us to make the correction.   Several economists stated that they did not believe that a single global currency would work without a sufficient "world government".    For them, it is assumed here that such a world government structure will be in place by the year 2075.
