The current global trading system is under exclusive control of the rich states, which doubtlessly want to keep it that way.

...multicolored ropes. At the end of the rainbow, naturally, is where the leprechaun's crock of gold will be. (Construction was still under way at the time of my visit.) O'Rahilly marks the dimensions of the pot on the floor and conjures up its gleaming magic with a wave of his hand. "People will be able to see the nuggets," he explains, eyes sparkling.
