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 ratings of the Single Global Currency, using the rating system on the previous page, are given below as they were sent to us. It is anticipated that more ratings will be listed as more and more economists research and write about the Utility and Feasibility of the Single Global Currency.

That having been said, it is an altogether different matter to try to decide what Feasibility Index one might want to attach to the prospect of establishing a SGC (single global currency) by the Year 2024. … therefore, we would rate it at somewhere between +1 and +2."

"I think it is urgently desirable to have a genuinely international currency, issued by a gen-uinely international �central bank�, for use in interna-tional transactions by people, corporations and nations that find it serves their interest to use it in preference to a �hegemonic’ national currency like the US dollar. But it should be part of a multilevel system of currencies serving the peoples of the world, allowing them to use continuing national and new local currencies if they find it beneficial to use them."
