Scenarios for the evolution of the International Monetary System in the light of the theories of money

Antoni Chrzonstowski



Abstract

The article analysed three scenarios for the development of the International Monetary System (IMS) in light of the three theories of money – precious metals as money, theory of hitch and modern monetary theory. The most promising scenario in view of effectiveness of the IMS involves the introduction of a separate global currency based on the contractual monetary unit of the International Monetary Fund, which are the Special Drawing Rights – SDR. The value and the stability of the newly introduced world currency cannot derive from the strength of the monetary authorities of any sovereign country. Its strength, however, could be built upon a double hitch: e.g. from the gold standard, which could be subject to periodic change and the economic parity, which would apply to all national economies by introducing of the valuation of carbon dioxide emission limits.

Keywords:

The International Monetary System, IMS, The International Monetary Fund, IMF, special drawing rights, SDR, the gold standard, the economic parity
