Developed World in Financial Decay – How Long Before Money Collapses?
By: Julian D. W. Phillips, Gold/Silver Forecaster - Global Watch - GoldForecaster.com
The Current Scene
Since 2007 and the start of the “credit-crunch” the developed world’s money system has been under stress. As a consequence, there has been an economic downturn that government and bankers have not been able to stop, convincingly, in the last five years.
The developed world has decayed to the point that it can’t handle another major crisis such as an oil price well into the $100+ area.
· Food inflation now threatening, must not be allowed to take off because consumer/voter reaction will undermine government and money still further.
· As it is confidence in both the euro and the dollar is at a low ebb. Yes, it is still the only means of exchange and it can be forced onto citizens, but general confidence in the economy, the monetary system and a broad range of markets is suffering as never before.

Can the Global Monetary System Collapse?
We’re of the opinion that even if the system is hobbling along, it will continue until global economies collapse. This was the case in Zimbabwe in the last decade. The Zimbabwe dollar continued in use because the government enforced its use inside its borders. But to all intents and purposes, it has collapsed long before then. In the case of Zimbabwe, the U.S. dollar became the currency in use in the country and in what’s left of its economy. This is still the case today.
Before any such collapse occurs, we are certain that each individual developed world economy would cooperate with each other to take whatever measures are available to them to shore up the monetary system. These measures will prevent the system from a total collapse, keeping it staggering on all the way. We believe that they will fully harness gold then.
