This union will soon continue beyond the finances and will reach into the politics. Some people dream of a United Europe. Now in America, talk is strong about having one currency that would include all the countries from Canada in the north to Argentina at the southern end of South America. Impossible, some would say. That was said of Europe.
Strong forces are now at work to bring it about.
At the same time, there is talk of the need for one currency in Asia, which would include countries such as Japan, Korea, Malasia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. Economic ties through world trade agreements and financial loans are taking place everywhere. Even so, just as there are mergers of companies taking place in Europe on a regular basis, everyday we hear of another merger. Through satellites, global communication has become instantaneous. The world is changing and it will never be the same again.
