Maybe. Let's consider some well known facts. China and other exporting nations have been growing wealthier at a rapid rate and been piling up dollars. But what does this wealth represent, if America produces little that they want to buy?

A possible answer - America does have something they want to buy. Millions of square miles of real estate.

If you were a country of teeming billions, wouldn't all that real estate look pretty attractive to you?

So here's the scenario. They start buying up US real estate with those dollars. Instead of a real estate collapse, the current bull market turns out to be only the beginning. There is precedent for this. The Japanese were famous (or infamous) in the 1980's for buying huge amounts of US real estate with the dollars they were piling up. Might China be the next Japan? Might the current real estate boom be just a small foreshadowing of the Big One to come?

1. There's another precedent; Hong Kong money that created a west-coast only property bubble in the late 80's/early 90's ahead of the handover. Some of those people moved, and many still have monster urban 'cottages' from San Diego to Vancouver where they spend some time, but the point is, all were prepared to move had the handover gone another way.

2. All this stuff about whether they're planning an invasion, what they're planning to do with all their people and what they're planning to do about all the money we owe them: fuggedaboutit, guys! Evolution, history, the market; none advance by plan, but by the interaction of billions of participant factors in almost inevitable, but very complicated, fashion. What is their new industrialist class likely to do to keep the trade flows as they are? Will the Chinese worker ever become the 'entitled' Western-style consumer? Are they really running out of land – they will embrace genetic technology, eg GMO's, faster than we will, as far as we food is concerned - and aren't they rapidly approaching a demographic bottleneck from 'One Child' anyway? These are the kinds of questions we need to ask.

Subject: Imagine a Benevolent Federal Reserve...

In cahoots with a corrupted government.

That has come to the realization that it can never meet all it's promises and pay its bills.

What if the politicos decided to screw the world out the money it owes it through simple inflation.

And PROTECT its citizens by creating the money to screw its creditors through easy real estate financing, making nearly every US citizen a home owner in the process.

The ever inflating price of real estate would protect US home owners from a large portion of inflations insidious effects while nearly totally shafting the rest of the world out of the real value of the money owed, especially the "yellow hoard" sitting on a mountain of T-bills and bundled mortgage debt.

Could this be the genius of their insanity? A plausible and purposeful least painful scenario that preserves incumbents seats and US global power?

In the long run - does issuing mortgage dept on land to create money to fuel an economy work any better then issuing stocks on it as per John Law?

Or am I just talking out my ass?

I think we will soon find out!

Subject: no rationale for gold based currency

In this age there is no chance gold will ever be the foundation of a new world currency More likely ? who can say ? i would say that some one with real smarts would come up with a sys which indexed the productive capacity of former nations curency and based a new global exchange rate on that fluctuating model . Gold? well it will be worth something ? but IT just does not occupy that role any longer > Well now Iwill get ready to be slaughtered by everyman> Go easy.
