(N.Morgan) The enigma in question of who wins the currency war presumes that any of the participating adversaries will have the ability to claim victory.
If winning is composed of who ends up with the most money as a store of palpable assets is degraded it is improbable a clear victory can be declared.
The complete idiocy of lowering the purchasing power of a country’s currency to enable exports to be more competitive is economic sacrilege that the heretical “Free Trade” mythos is based upon.
Without any stable standard of objective comparison, floating currencies maneuver their exchange rates to disguise internal imbalances in their own political and economic expenditures.
With all of the ruckus following the recent Chinese devaluation, the rupture in the foreign exchange markets has shown signs of a panic.
“The successive devaluations have generated a range of reactions across the financial world. In Vietnam, the State Bank doubled the trading band of its currency on Wednesday in response to China’s decision, in effect paving the way for the Vietnamese dong to depreciate in value.
Other Asian currencies fell following the yuan’s devaluation, with South Korea’s won, Malaysia’s ringgit and Indonesia’s rupiah all declining by at least 1 percent against the dollar, according to Bloomberg.
Gabriel Stein, Director of Asset Management Services at global think-tank Oxford Economics, says he expects Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore to follow suit by devaluing their currencies in an attempt to compete with Chinese exports.
However, too many countries devaluing at the same time will lead to a global slowdown in growth, says Stein. “It’s a bad thing because it means imports become more expensive for everyone that does this,” he says.
“The idea with devaluing your currency is you have less domestic demand and your exports gain competitiveness, but everyone cannot do it at the same time and, if they try to, that’s demand deflationary for the global economy.”
An opposing view is expressed clearly in the Forbes version, Yuan Devaluation Does Not Mean a Currency War.
“He added that the U.S. economy is in a much worse situation right now than the Chinese.
That’s going to sink the dollar and then the Chinese are going to have to revalue their currency much higher in the future against the dollar and it’s the dollar collapsing that’s going to hurt the US.”
While the empirical fact that the U.S. economy maintains a perpetual balance of payment deficit, the notion that a currency war will result in a bankster version of a monetary restart, ignores the reality that international trade benefits foreign corporations or subsidies of American companies.
America as a country or as a people, see little return from the fleet of container ships docking at the Long Beach port.
Think about the consequences of Schiff’s conclusion.
U.S. consumers would be burdened with buying higher priced Asian goods with a much lower purchasing value from our own dollar.
Any interconnection among commerce and national prosperity has been severed long ago.
As the middle class crumbles faster and further, the net result is that essential goods and services become even more expensive, since it takes more depreciated dollars to buy the necessities of life.
During the time whe the world was on the Gold Standard and had fixed currency exchange rates, the flexibility of governments and central banks to cook their books had a powerful restrain.
of whatever the global elites thrust upon the vulnerable populist and defenseless nation states.
Because of this political assessment, the economic equation must factor in the tangible nature of money exchange rates within the geopolitical context.
Fighting against a money war means that the enemy is the entire central banking structure, designed to keep humanity in an effective prison of subsistence.
The threat of warfare and conflict always overhangs those countries that buck the established monitory system that keeps the New World Order advancing to their ultimate goal of total world domination.
A Dollar here, a Pound there, maybe a Euro thrown in with a Renminbi, makes the global Ponzi scheme go round.

Who wins? I bet everything on China.
Hello Angle#3(prelim),
Charlie here. I do know this much about the Chinese. They do not like US and resent US. Any check on their currency means they are willing to take a loss now to win later. They never do this to let America gain an advantage, of course, except when it means America will step into it later.
Remember, we are the enema to them. Excuse me, the enemy to them.
Signed,
Charlie (no friend of China but doughnuts OK)
What a sick f*****g mess we are all in. The whole fake system that we are born into, makes most of us slaves from day one!
