are correct in general. Armies can (and often have) been used to enforce reserve currencies. Usually, this is done through taxation.However, to implement this, the power in question has to be willing to rule the taxed and if needed, to terrorize them. The US does not have anywhere the political will to carry out such a program. The US army is large enough to terrorize much of the world but not large enough to occupy it. The US government would never endorse a program of organized terror. The US has the means but not the will. |
