Currency Issues
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages discussing the methods by which governments have the ability to control the values of their currencies. The 'trick' is that manipulation of the nation's currency simply must be thoughtful and based on real-world conditions rather than wishful thinking.

Much of Japan's economy is on the verge of collapse , and much of the blame can be pointed at the failure to exercise enough control.
