News and current affairs

One answer, of course, is a complete collapse of the US dollar.
There is probably some slight truth - and also a certain degree of irony - to this argument.
In my view, the most powerful argument to justify today's high price of gold is the dramatic emergence of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East into the global economy.
So, yes, there are solid fundamentals that arguably support today's higher gold price, although it is far more debatable whether and to what extent they will continue to support higher prices in the future.
It is therefore dangerous to extrapolate from short-term trends.
Today, the mood is much grimmer, with references to 1929 and 1931 beginning to abound, even if some governments continue to behave as if the crisis was more classical than exceptional.
But if the human capacity for destruction knows few limits, the ability to start over again is just as remarkable.
Perhaps that is why mankind has so far managed to survive.
That is why the war's great hero, Winston Churchill, was voted out of office in the summer of 1945, even before Japan surrendered.
The European dream is in crisis.
And the post-war social-democratic welfare state is being eroded more and more every day.
The answer to these alarming developments is not nostalgia.
But a new aspiration toward social and economic equality, and international solidarity, is badly needed.
This is neither a correct description nor a useful terminology for terrorist acts, which are more correctly described as criminal.
Admittedly, getting to a much higher price for gold is not quite the leap of imagination that it seems.
After adjusting for inflation, today's price is nowhere near the all-time high of January 1980.
Even so, the fact that very high inflation is possible does not make it probable, so one should be cautious in arguing that higher gold prices are being driven by inflation expectations.
Today, with interest rates near or at record lows in many countries, it is relatively cheap to speculate in gold instead of investing in bonds.
The tendency is either excessive restraint (Europe) or a diffusion of the effort (the United States).
Europe is being cautious in the name of avoiding debt and defending the euro, whereas the US has moved on many fronts in order not to waste an ideal opportunity to implement badly needed structural reforms.
For geo-strategists, however, the year that naturally comes to mind, in both politics and economics, is 1989.
By contrast, 2009 is likely to pave the way to a new form of bipolarity, but with China substituting for the Soviet Union.
Second, whereas democracy and market capitalism appeared as clear - if more fragile than expected - winners in 1989, it is difficult in 2009, with the spread of the global crisis, to distinguish winners from losers.
Yet, history is unfair, and the US, despite its greater responsibility for today's global crisis, may emerge in better shape than most countries from the morass.
