The ups and downs of currencies cause substantial and wasteful disruption to the world's economy. What is needed is a Single Global Currency, managed by a Global Central Bank within a Global Monetary Union.
The benefits of a Single Global Currency will be substantial:
- Annual transaction costs of $400 billion will be eliminated.
- Worldwide asset values will increase by about $36 trillion.
- Worldwide GDP will increase by about $9 trillion.
- Global currency imbalances will be eliminated.
- All Balance of Payments problems will be eliminated.
- Currency crises will be prevented.
- Currency speculation will be eliminated.
- The need for foreign exchange reserves, now over $4 trillion, will be eliminated and these funds can be used for more productive purposes than maintaining an inefficient foreign exchange system.
If a monetary union in Europe works for 13 countries, soon to be 22, then why not plan for monetary union for 192 countries?

The name of the company is USEC, not USCE. Although USEC is their official name, it used to be short for the U.S. Enrichment Corporation.
