Or is Jim, despite his English sounding name and English address, unable to handle a little irony? I have incurred other ridicule elsewhere for making it plain I think there is indeed a better use for Special Drawing Rights - for development aid for less developed regions to combat the uneven accumulation of capital, and for protecting the environment.
But a Marshall aid plan for the Balkans is even more likely this week. If Clinton gets gold sales approved for the IMF that body becomes so much freer from the Republican controlled Congress.
