In un mondo dove la comunicazione stressa sempre l'ultima notizia, o come le chiamano "breaking news" - spesso inutili, anzi dannosi, stimoli emozionali - giova ricordare un lancio Reuters del novembre 2010:
LONDON/WASHINGTON | The world's largest economies should consider gold as an indicator to help set foreign exchange rates, the head of the World Bank said on Monday in a proposal that threw open the acrimonious currency debate just before a summit of G20 nations.
Writing in the Financial Times, World Bank President Robert Zoellick called for a new monetary system to replace the floating rates adopted in 1971 known as Bretton Woods II.
In typical Zoellick style, the proposal before the G20 leaders' summit in Seoul is aimed at fueling a broader debate on currencies that goes beyond competitive devaluation wars.

Poi le cose hanno preso un'altra piega, come del resto la "exit strategy" che più o meno era stata lanciata in quei tempi. Del resto: " sic transit gloria mundi" diceva San Paolo ........ dopo essere stato folgorato sulla via di Damasco, però.
