Balance of power in international relations

A standard. A global monetary standard. Such the day, as capricious as it may sound, may not be so inconceivable after all. It might just very well be right around the corner. For those who service the media as a sort of “global creed,” it is with great disappointment to find it saturated with too many economic disparities and presumptuous assumptions.
