Buying foreign currency means investing in symbols of international cooperation. Your buying action invokes a spirit of global coordination never seen before this past century. When you consider the political dynamics involved, the process is quite extraordinary.
Consider also the ramifications for newly opened capitalistic enterprises in countries like Russia and China. The phenomenal, unpredictable events of the past decade and a half gave birth to a radically altered global paradigm, the likes of which history has never before seen. So what does this new dynamic imply for your foreign exchange opportunities?For one, a broader awareness of political considerations can make you a savvier investor. Realize that when you're buying foreign currency, you're committing to a certain marketplace ethic. The psychology driving that ethic has profound implications for the market as a whole -- and for future technology.Finally, I urge you to examine the effects of this rapid intercultural contamination on the Third World. What will the end results of this unified but diverse marketplace be for humanity? And how can we promote a system of free enterprise that nevertheless promotes equality for the poor and downtrodden?
