The article surveys the history of money and discusses why, in the author's view, the U.S. is misguided in its efforts to persuade China to revalue the yuan upwards. Coins obviated the need for barter in early economies, and eventually led to the introduction of even more convenient paper currencies that were backed by metals such as gold or silver. When currencies could no longer be redeemed for precious metal, though, governments became free to print money at will.

This article presents the thoughts and observations of the author regarding inflation and the efforts of the Federal Reserve to control it. Inflation is beginning to rear its ugly head, thanks to the Federal Reserve's printing of too many dollars. Commodity prices--especially gold--have been signaling this resurgence for several months. If the Fed does nothing until late summer or fall, long-term interest rates will shoot up sharply. Should Greenspan & Co. act now, the hit for longer-term debt--especially housing mortgages--will be relatively small. Businesses have kept inventories on a tight leash, both to control expenses and to take advantage of lower and lower prices. Now the opposite will begin to happen: Corporate purchasers will start to buy more stuff, lest they pay more later. China, the oil companies, steel companies and others are not the villains causing steeper prices. The Chinese yuan is tied directly to the greenback. China has been growing rapidly for years. Why, all of a sudden, is that growth inflationary? Growth is not the cause; excess dollar creation is. Thanks to the Fed, China has a serious economic crisis brewing. The longer the Fed waits, the more distortions we're going to get and the worse the global repercussions.

This week Alan Greenspan, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, said that it would be unwise for China to float its currency, the yuan, because such a move might cause money to flee China, destabilising its financial system. The President George W. Bush administration has been pushing China very hard to revalue the yuan, and in times past Greenspan would have been decidely more guarded in an election year. Greenspan also said Chinese and Japanese central banks could not carry on intervening in the currency markets as much as they have, since it will cause inflation. America's budget is poised to explode with deficits thanks to over-generous pensions and health benefits. Rather than raise taxes, Greenspan said it was time to think seriously about cutting benefits and raising the retirement age. An option obvious to any economist, but not to politicians on the election trail and keen to avoid offence.

The author of this article focuses on the value of the Chinese currency, yuan, against the U.S. dollar. In the campaign to protect what remains of the U.S. textile industry, some have demanded that China increase the value of their currency and stop the practice of pegging the value of the Chinese yuan to the U.S. dollar. As of 2005, the yuan's value is pegged at roughly 8.30 yuan for every U.S. dollar. This makes Chinese goods extremely competitive on the world market. Other countries say the yuan is undervalued by as much as 40 percent relative to its real market value.
