Von Michael Liebig; weitere Beiträge von Michael Liebig finden Sie hier: michaelliebig When, in a few years from now, political analysts will look back on November 2010, they will likely see it as the moment when the debate over a new multipolar world monetary system became really serious. On Nov. 2, President Obama and Democratic Party suffered severe losses in the US mid-term elections – mainly due to the protracted economic malaise in America. On Nov. 3, the Federal Reserve decided to buy US treasury bonds (and state and municipal bonds) worth $600 billion (a lot more will likely follow). The international answer was unprecedented – in the negative. Then, on Nov. 8, Robert Zoellick, the head of the World Bank and a key figure of the US establishment, suddenly proposed the creation of a “new monetary system”.

It was a hot day in Berlin and it took almost nine hours and three electoral rounds until Wulff received the necessary majority. Wulff is a typical representative of Germany’s political class: clever, good-looking, eloquent and politically experienced. And that’s it.

Von Michael Liebig; weitere Beiträge von Michael Liebig finden Sie hier: michaelliebig The atmosphere at this year’s Munich Security Conference seemed stressful: Probably too many sticky security problems internationally – not to speak of the financial and fiscal problems within the “West”. And, on top of this, new, rising powers are joining the premier league of global security actors.
