feel free to jump in if this isn't an accurate translation.
but an additional question i'd have would be which country other than the US did not entail a central banking system, at least at some distinctive point? germany, singapore, australia, japan, malaysia, indonesia... i'm trying to think of some which are more like the US, but these aren't, and they certainly don't all fall within the left of any continuum as described by the article.
and, it seems to me that the conditions being described in the US miss the specific character of the US globally. certainly the US, by virtue of Bretton Woods, acted as de jure and de fact global credit (bolstered invariably by military force around the world), which means in some perverse way that the system that was perhaps absent within the US was by no means absent globally -- it was (is still?) the US. i have no idea how that connection works, but it seems to me it does or must at some point.
endless questions...
