What the New World Order Could Be
http://www.ashishdalela.com/2017/01/22/new-world-order/
EXCERPT: The term “New World Order” often refers to a system of global governance and economics, including the system of monetary exchanges and trade established through institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and the balance of power between the nations through organizations such as the United Nations. Over the years, these institutions have been undermined by their members, for aims of personal profit and power, giving rise to many regional and transnational groupings.

This post challenges this idea and argues that monetary value can be a natural property of matter, quite like physical properties in science are considered natural properties of matter. It also shows how all variety of economic problems arise when monetary value is treated as arising from supply and demand....
