"During WWI countries had abandoned the gold standard, and most returned to it only briefly -" is that many, most or every? Ϣere SpielChequers 12:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Great new section and great pics. But there so many that at least with IE it causes probelms with the text display. If we want all those pics maybe we could make a montage as per Rio de Janeiro? FeydHuxtable ( talk) 12:03, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Not sure what the issue is with this pic? Firstly, the rules on OR are relaxed on pics so sources arent necessarily required. However until recently there was a source on the article from the Indian Times talking about the impact Singh had at the G20. Or here's a link to the Financial Times where arguably the worlds no 1 financial journalist Martin Wolf says there is no one he respects more than Mr Singh. That said if anyone doesnt like the image, ive no issue with an alternative being used. It would be nice if it maintains the visual balance of the article, and to help reflect the shift of financial power away from the West it these past few decades it would be good if it could relate to a Bric country. A pic of Zhou Xiaochuan would be especially nice if one is available. But please dont remove the image without replacing it and thus spoiling the ascetics of the article!

When Currencies Collapse; Will We Replay the 1930s or the 1970s? by Barry Eichengreen in January/February 2012 Foreign Affairs issue; excerpt ...
Today, more than at any time in recent memory, analysts and investors are voicing doubts about the stability of the dollar and the euro and the international monetary system that depends on them. Consider first the dollar. Faith in its reliability was seriously undermined last summer when the debt-ceiling imbroglio in the United States revealed a seemingly unbridgeable gap between the political parties and raised concerns about the capacity of U.S. policymakers to put the country's financial house in order. Foreign investors, who hold slightly less than half of all marketable U.S. Treasury debt, saw the crisis as proof that members of Congress would rather let the country default on its obligations than compromise on their own partisan objectives. And foreign governments were spooked. As the debate reached a peak, Chinese officials lectured Washington on the need to act responsibly, China's state-run news agency disparaged the negotiations as a "madcap farce of brinkmanship," and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin characterized Americans as "living like parasites off the global economy and their monopoly of the dollar."
