These principles - and others, derived from them intended to support their implementation and maintenance - are necessary to the economic and political feasibility of any single global currency. Without these essential principles being embodied in the operation of the commercial and central banking systems of the world, it will be possible to manipulate any global currency for the benefit or advantage of a few, instead of using the uniquely social good of money and credit for the good of everyone in the world. As Henry C. Adams noted in 1898, manipulation of money and credit through unwise government spending or borrowing is the surest way to undermine and finally destroy the sovereignty of nations. Run in a manner consistent with the above principles, a global currency would enhance national and, especially, individual sovereignty. Managed in a way that simply continues current central bank policies and financing techniques, the result of a global currency would be oppression and tyranny.
