<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSo in some ways, money, power, and the trust in a ruler or government is all tied together. Why does America run the world? Simple \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the US dollar hegemony<\/a> (Henry CK Liu<\/a>). What we have in money right now is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fiat currency<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u201d the trust that if at will someone or any foreign entity asked America to repay her debts, she should be able to repay with gold, goods, or any other thing of value. But the hilarity\u00e2\u20ac\u201d once Nixon took the US off the gold standard in 1971 (at $35 an ounce!!!) the American government can simply print money at will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
