Thanks to Daniel and Alessandro for their informative remarks. It is ironic that this great boon to capitalists was started by the Soviets...or I think more precisely, it was originally started by the Chinese who took their dollars out of American banks and put them into Soviet banks (in Paris and London, I believe) because the US was freezing their accounts after 1949 (may be mistaken about this though).
As should be clear by now, I am quite interested in Negri's thesis and so am researching this move by Big Capital towards "statelessness". I mean, that is what eurodollars are, this stateless money, that defies any central bank's regulation.

CB: Recall that the USSR was a MULTINATIONAL state too, before Europe or the Hardt-Negri thesis.
