...future will be a shift away from gold and toward a truly international paper currency, supported by contributions of currencies from all major nations. When that happens, money will be regulated by men instead of metal, and the value of each nation's currency will more truly reflect its real economic strength...

The oil-producing Arab states of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar amassed hefty surpluses as usual in 1967, despite some losses from the Mideast war. Instead of squandering the money on palaces, limousines and concubines, the rulers of the four Persian Gulf states today split the oil-based riches between imported consumer goods (food, clothing, shelter) for their populace, new facilities such as water...
