to keep going it's all dollars dollars dollars yes well she makes a good point all of the seven hundred trillion dollars or so and go over the river of margin by the dollars so the subset of those currencies would be less important according to eve smith but i disagree with the expert because she is not taking on board the trend of the economy moving from paper to assets so if we move to assets as we are with the oil pipelines coming into play now in this year asian trading zone then paper will be revealed as not really having much value at all and so therefore we're going to see more. pricing of trade in the hard commodities like oil like jest like gold and that's what china russia iran are getting ready to do right now the shanghai cooperative cooperation organization is all about that and they're getting ready to throw down in a big way so i have to disagree with eve i think he's being fooled by the nominal value of the big number however in the real world as well ok you have a seventy trillion that most dollar economy it produces seventy trillion and global goods and services every
