The National Football League (NFL) on Thanksgiving Day is a traditional series of games played during the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. It has been a regular occurrence since the league's inception in 1. Currently, three NFL games are played every Thanksgiving. The first two are hosted by the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys; a third game, with no fixed opponents, has been played annually since 2. History[edit]The concept of American football games being played on Thanksgiving Day dates back to 1. In that year, the college football teams at Yale and Princeton began an annual tradition of playing each other on Thanksgiving Day.[1] The University of Michigan also made it a tradition to play annual Thanksgiving games, holding 1. The Thanksgiving Day games between Michigan and the Chicago Maroons in the 1. The Beginning of Thanksgiving Day Football."[7] In some areas, high- school teams play on Thanksgiving, usually to wrap- up the regular- season. By the time football had become a professional event, playing on Thanksgiving had already become an institution. Records of pro football being played on Thanksgiving date back to as early as the 1. Allegheny Athletic Association of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1. 90. 2, the "National" Football League, a Major League Baseball- backed organization based entirely in Pennsylvania and unrelated to the current NFL, attempted to settle its championship over Thanksgiving weekend; after the game ended in a tie, eventually all three teams in the league claimed to have won the title. Members of the Ohio League, during its early years, usually placed their marquee matchups on Thanksgiving Day. For instance, in 1. Latrobe Athletic Association and Canton Bulldogs, considered at the time to be two of the best teams in professional football (along with the Massillon Tigers), played on Thanksgiving. A rigging scandal with the Tigers leading up to the 1. Bulldogs and ultimately led to their suspension of operations. During the 1. 91. Ohio League stopped holding Thanksgiving games because many of its players coached high school teams and were unavailable. This was not the case in other regional circuits: in 1. New York Pro Football League featured a Thanksgiving matchup between the Buffalo Prospects and the Rochester Jeffersons. The game ended in a scoreless tie, leading to a rematch the next Sunday for the league championship. The first owner of the Lions, G. A. Richards, started the tradition of the Thanksgiving Day game as a gimmick to get people to go to Lions football games, and to continue a tradition begun by the city's previous NFL teams.[8]Several other NFL teams played regularly on Thanksgiving in first eighteen years of the league, including the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cardinals (1. Bears played the Lions from 1. Cardinals switched to the Green Bay Packers for 1. Frankford Yellow Jackets, Pottsville Maroons, Buffalo All- Americans, Canton Bulldogs (even after the team moved to Cleveland they played the 1. Thanksgiving game in Canton), and the New York Giants (1. During the Franksgiving controversy in 1. Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles, as both teams were in the same state (Pennsylvania). At the time, then- president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to move the holiday for economic reasons and many states were resistant to the move; half the states recognized the move and the other half did not. This complicated scheduling for Thanksgiving games. Incidentally, the two teams were also exploring the possibility of a merger at the time.[9]) Because of the looming World War II and the resulting shorter seasons, the NFL did not schedule any Thanksgiving games in 1. When the Thanksgiving games resumed in 1. Lions would have a permanent Thanksgiving game. In 1. 95. 1, the Packers began a thirteen- season run as the perpetual opponent to the Lions each year through 1. In 1. 96. 6, the Dallas Cowboys, who had been founded six years earlier, adopted the practice of hosting Thanksgiving games. It is widely rumored that the Cowboys sought a guarantee that they would regularly host Thanksgiving games as a condition of their very first one (since games on days other than Sunday were uncommon at the time and thus high attendance was not a certainty).[1. Incidentally, Texas was the last state to recognize the "fourth Thursday" rule for Thanksgiving that had been imposed as a result of the Franksgiving compromise two decades prior, and had just adopted the rule (as opposed to the previous last- Thursday rule) in 1. Dallas started hosting Thanksgiving games. The fourth and final Thursdays were the same between 1. Texas had celebrated Thanksgiving on the week after the rest of the country was 1. In 1. 97. 5 and 1. St. Louis Cardinals replaced Dallas as a host team (Dallas then hosted St. Louis in 1. 97. 6). Although the Cardinals, at the time known as the "Cardiac Cards" due to their propensity for winning very close games, were a modest success at the time, they were nowhere near as popular nationwide as the Cowboys, who were regular Super Bowl contenders during this era. This, combined with St. Louis's consistently weak attendance and opposition from the Kirkwood–Webster Groves Turkey Day Game (a local high school football contest) led to Dallas resuming regular hosting duties in 1. The All- America Football Conference and American Football League, both of which would later be absorbed into the NFL, also held Thanksgiving contests, although neither of those leagues had permanent hosts. Likewise, the AFL of 1. Thanksgiving games in its lone season of existence, while the AFL of 1. Cleveland Rams, a future NFL team, and the 1. American Football League played two games in 1.

Because of TV network commitments, to make sure that both the AFC- carrying network (NBC from the 1. CBS since 1. 99. 8) and the NFC- carrying network (CBS from the 1. Fox since 1. 99. 4) got at least one game each, one of these games was between NFC opponents, and one featured AFC- NFC opponents. Thus, the AFC could showcase only one team on Thanksgiving, and the AFC team was always the visiting team. Since 2. 00. 6, a third NFL game on Thanksgiving has been played at night. It originally aired on the NFL Network as part of its Thursday Night Football package until 2. NBC began carrying the night game in 2. The Thanksgiving night game has no fixed opponents or conferences, enabling the league to freely choose whatever marquee match- up to feature on that night. The 2. 01. 2 changes also allowed both Dallas and Detroit in the future to offer NFC games (one would be played at night), and CBS can offer a game with two AFC teams. In 2. 01. 4, the NFL added the cross- flex rule, allowing CBS to televise NFC away games, and Fox to broadcast AFC away games, under select circumstances on Sunday afternoons; [1. Thanksgiving contests.[1. CBS also signed a separate contract to carry Thursday Night Football for the 2. Thursdays; [1. 4] those years, the Thanksgiving contests all featured NFC teams, with no AFC teams playing on the holiday either year. Throwback uniforms[edit]Since 2.

In 2. 00. 9, to celebrate the 5. AFL, both Dallas and Oakland played in a "AFL Legacy Game." In 2. Cowboys intended to wear their 1. NFL adopted a rule banning alternate helmets during the season; rather than sport an incomplete throwback look, the Cowboys instead wore their standard blue jerseys at home for the first time since 1. In 2. 01. 5, the Cowboys will wear white Double- Star throwback jerseys with white pants as part of the league's "Color Rush," a trial run of specially- designed, monochromatic jerseys to be worn during Thursday games.[1. Memorable games[edit]1. An urban legend states that the Chicago Tigers and Decatur Staleys challenged each other to a Thanksgiving duel, in Chicago, in the league's inaugural season, with the loser being relegated out of the league at the end of the season, purportedly explaining why the Tigers were the only NFL team to fold after the 1. The claims of it being a duel are unsubstantiated and no evidence exists that the Tigers were ever officially league members; nevertheless, the Tigers, after a 2. Thorn Tornadoes the next week, never played football again. The Staleys would move to Chicago during the next season, later renaming themselves the Bears. In a matchup of two of the league's best teams, the Staleys lose to the Buffalo All- Americans at home. The Staleys demand a rematch, with Buffalo agreeing to a December match only on the terms of it being considered an off- the- record exhibition game. That later match, which Chicago won, ended up counting despite the All- Americans' insistence, controversially handing Chicago the championship. The Dallas Texans are forced to move their lone remaining home game to the Rubber Bowl in Akron, Ohio as the undercard to a high school football contest. Their opponent for that game, the Chicago Bears, underestimated the then- winless Texans and sent their second string team to the game; the Texans scored a 2. Bears for their only win of their existence. The Lions handed the 1. Green Bay Packers their lone defeat of the season. The 1. 96. 4 and 1. AFL contests featured the Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers, the two teams that would eventually meet in those years' American Football League Championship Games.

Ancient Olympic Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Olympic Games (Greek: ОџО»П…ОјПЂО№О±ОєОїОЇ О±ОіПЋОЅОµП‚ , "Olympiakoi Agones") were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of city- states and one of the Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece. They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythologicalorigin. The first Olympics is traditionally dated to 7. BC. They continued to be celebrated when Greece came under Roman rule, until the emperor Theodosius I suppressed them in 3.
AD as part of the campaign to impose Christianity as the state religion of Rome. The games were held every four years, or olympiad, which became a unit of time in historical chronologies. During the celebration of the games, an Olympic Truce was enacted so that athletes could travel from their countries to the games in safety. The prizes for the victors were olive leaf wreaths or crowns. The games became a political tool used by city- states to assert dominance over their rivals. Politicians would announce political alliances at the games, and in times of war, priests would offer sacrifices to the gods for victory. The games were also used to help spread Hellenistic culture throughout the Mediterranean. The Olympics also featured religious celebrations and artistic competitions. The Start Of Olympic Games In 776 BceThe statue of Zeus at Olympia was counted as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Sculptors and poets would congregate each olympiad to display their works of art to would- be patrons. The ancient Olympics had fewer events than the modern games, and only freeborn Greek men were allowed to participate,[1] although a woman, Bilistiche, is also mentioned as a winning chariot owner. As long as they met the entrance criteria, athletes from any city- state and Macedon were allowed to participate, although the Hellanodikai, the officials in charge, allowed king Alexander I to participate in the games only after he had proven his Greek ancestry.[2][3] The games were always held at Olympia rather than alternating to different locations as is the tradition with the modern Olympic Games.[4] Victors at the Olympics were honored, and their feats chronicled for future generations. Origins. An artist's impression of ancient Olympia. To the Greeks, it was important to root the Olympic Games in mythology.[5] During the time of the ancient games their origins were attributed to the gods, and competing legends persisted as to who actually was responsible for the genesis of the games.[6] These origin of traditions have become nearly impossible to untangle, yet a chronology and patterns have arisen that help people understand the story behind the games.[7]The earliest myths regarding the origin of the games are recounted by the Greek historian, Pausanias. According to the story, the dactyl Herakles (not to be confused with the son of Zeus) and four of his brothers, Paeonaeus, Epimedes, Iasius and Idas, raced at Olympia to entertain the newborn Zeus. The modern Olympic Games or Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques [1]) are the leading international sporting event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in. He crowned the victor with an olive tree wreath, (which thus became a peace symbol) which also explains the four year interval, bringing the games around every fifth year (counting inclusively).[8][9] The other Olympian gods (so named because they lived permanently on Mount Olympus), would also engage in wrestling, jumping and running contests.[1. Another myth of the origin of the games is the story of Pelops, a local Olympian hero. The story of Pelops begins with Oenomaus, the king of Pisa, Greece, who had a beautiful daughter named Hippodamia. According to an oracle, the king would be killed by her husband. Therefore, he decreed that any young man who wanted to marry his daughter was required to drive away with her in his chariot, and Oenomaus would follow in another chariot and spear the suitor if he caught up with them. Now, the king's chariot horses were a present from the god Poseidon and were therefore supernaturally fast. Pelops was a very handsome young man and the king's daughter fell in love with him. Before the race, she persuaded her father's charioteer Myrtilus to replace the bronze axle pins of the king's chariot with wax ones. Naturally, during the race the wax melted and the king fell from his chariot and was killed. At the same time the king's palace was struck by lightning and reduced to ashes, save for one wooden pillar that was revered in the Altis for centuries, and stood near what was to be the site of the temple of Zeus. Pelops was proclaimed the winner and married Hippodamia. After his victory, Pelops organized chariot races as thanksgiving to the gods and as funeral games in honor of King Oenomaus, in order to be purified of his death. It was from this funeral race held at Olympia that the beginnings of the Olympic Games were inspired. Pelops became a great king, a local hero, and gave his name to the Peloponnese. Another myth, this one occurring after the aforementioned myth, is attributed to Pindar. He claims the festival at Olympia involved Herakles, the son of Zeus. The story goes that after completing his labors, Herakles established an athletic festival to honor his father. The games of previous millennia were discontinued and then revived by Lycurgus of Sparta, Iphitos of Elis, and Cleoisthenes of Pisa at the behest of the Oracle of Delphi who claimed that the people had strayed from the gods, which had caused a plague and constant war. Restoration of the games would end the plague, usher in a time of peace, and signal a return to a more traditional lifestyle.[1. The patterns that emerge from these myths are that the Greeks believed the games had their roots in religion, that athletic competition was tied to worship of the gods, and the revival of the ancient games was intended to bring peace, harmony and a return to the origins of Greek life.[1. Since these myths were documented by historians like Pausanias, who lived during the reign of Marcus Aurelius in the 1. AD, it is likely that these stories are more fable than fact. The games were abolished in 3. CE by Emperor Theodosius.[1. The origins of many aspects of the Olympics date to funeral games of the Mycenean period and later.[1. Early examples are known such as those held for Patroclus by Achilles, described by Homer and in Book 5 of Virgil's Aeneid, in which Aeneas organizes athletic contests on the anniversary of his father's death. History. The games were held to be one of the two central rituals in Ancient Greece, the other being the much older religious festival, the Eleusinian Mysteries.[1. The games started in Olympia, Greece, in a sanctuary site for the Greek deities near the towns of Elis and Pisa (both in Elis on the peninsula of Peloponnesos). The first games began as an annual foot race of young women in competition for the position of the priestess for the goddess, Hera[1. The Heraea Games, the first recorded competition for women in the Olympic Stadium, were held as early as the sixth century BC. It originally consisted of foot races only, as did the competition for males. Some texts, including Pausanias's Description of Greece, c. AD 1. 75, state that Hippodameia gathered a group known as the "Sixteen Women" and made them administrators of the Heraea Games, out of gratitude for her marriage to Pelops. Other texts related to the Elis and Pisa conflict indicate that the "Sixteen Women" were peacemakers from Pisa and Elis and, because of their political competence, became administrators of the Heraea. Being the consort of Hera in Classical Greekmythology, Zeus was the father of the deities in the pantheon of that era. The Sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia housed a 1. Zeus that had been sculpted by Phidias circa 4. BC. This statue was one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World. By the time of the Classical Greek culture, in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, the games were restricted to male participants. The historian Ephorus, who lived in the fourth century BC, is one potential candidate for establishing the use of Olympiads to count years, although credit for codifying this particular epoch usually falls to Hippias of Elis, to Eratosthenes, or even to Timaeus, whom Eratosthenes may have imitated.[1. The Olympic Games were held at four- year intervals, and later, the ancient historians' method of counting the years even referred to these games, using the term Olympiad for the period between two games. Previously, the local dating systems of the Greek states were used (they continued to be used by everyone except the historians), which led to confusion when trying to determine dates. For example, Diodorus states that there was a solar eclipse in the third year of the 1. Olympiad, which must be the eclipse of 3. BC. This gives a date of (mid- summer) 7. BC for the first year of the first Olympiad.[2. Nevertheless, there is disagreement among scholars as to when the games began.[2. The "Exedra" reserved for the judges at Olympia on the north embankment of the stadium. The only competition held then was, according to the later Greek traveller Pausanias who wrote in 1. AD., the stadion race, a race over about 1. Hercules. The word stadium is derived from this foot race. The Greek tradition of athletic nudity (gymnos)[2. BC, either by the Spartans or by the Megarian Orsippus, and this was adopted early in the Olympics as well. Several groups fought over control of the sanctuary at Olympia, and hence the games, for prestige and political advantage. Pausanias later writes that in 6. BC, Pheidon of Argos was commissioned by the town of Pisa to capture the sanctuary from the town of Elis, which he did and then personally controlled the games for that year. The next year, Elis regained control. The Olympic Games were part of the Panhellenic Games, four separate games held at two- or four- year intervals, but arranged so that there was at least one set of games every year. The Olympic Games were more important and more prestigious than the Pythian, Nemean, and Isthmian Games. The games were in decline for many years but continued past 3. Overview – The Ancient Olympic Games. The ancient Olympic Games were primarily a part of a religious festival in honor of Zeus, the father of the Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and the games were held in Olympia, a rural sanctuary site (model shown here, courtesy of the British Museum) in the western Peloponnesos. The Greeks that came to the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia shared the same religious beliefs and spoke the same language. The athletes were all male citizens of the city- states from every corner of the Greek world, coming from as far away as Iberia (Spain) in the west and the Black Sea (Turkey) in the east. The sanctuary was named in antiquity after Mt. Olympos, the highest mountain in mainland Greece. In Greek mythology, Mt. Olympos was the home of the greatest of the Greek gods and goddesses. The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 7. BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won the stadion race, a foot race 6. The stadion track at Olympia is shown here. According to some literary traditions, this was the only athletic event of the games for the first 1. Olympic festivals or until 7. BC. From 7. 76 BC, the Games were held in Olympia every four years for almost 1. Contrary evidence, both literary and archaeological, suggests that the games may have existed at Olympia much earlier than this date, perhaps as early as the 1. BC. What’s that you ask? A series of bronze tripods have been found at Olympia, some of which may date to the 9th century BC, and it has been suggested that these tripods may in fact be prizes for some of the early events at Olympia. Source: Deutsches Archaologisches Institut, Athen. The marathon was NOT an event of the ancient Olympic games. The marathon is a modern event that was first introduced in the Modern Olympic Games of 1. Athens, a race from Marathon northeast of Athens to the Olympic Stadium, a distance of 4. The race commemorates the run of Pheidippides, an ancient “day- runner” who carried the news of the Persian landing at Marathon of 4. B. C. to Sparta (a distance of 1. According to the fifth century B. C. ancient Greek historian Herodotus, Pheidippides delivered the news to the Spartans the next day. The distance of the modern marathon was standardized as 2. Olympic Games were held in London. The distance was the exact measurement between Windsor Castle, the start of the race, and the finish line inside White City Stadium. Nudity At The Games? There are two stories relating to the question of nudity at the ancient Olympic Games. One story states that it was a runner from Megara, Orsippos or Orrhippos who, in 7. B. C. was the first to run naked in the stadion race when he lost his shorts in the race. Another tradition is that it was the Spartans who introduced nudity to the Olympic Games in the 8th century B. C. as it was a Spartan tradition. It is not clear if the very first recorded victor at Olympia, Koroibos, who won the stadion race in 7. B. C. wore shorts or not. It seems fairly clear that by the late 8th century nudity was common for the male contestants. From Ancient to Modern. Although the ancient Games were staged in Olympia, Greece, from 7. BC through 3. 93 AD, it took 1. Olympics to return. The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1.

The modern Olympic torch relay was first instituted at the 1. Olympic Games in Berlin. The Olympic Oath was introduced in 1.

Beyond Bretton Woods 2 | The Economist. WHEN the leaders of the Group of Twenty (G2. Seoul on November 1. American officials blame China's refusal to allow the yuan to rise faster. The Chinese retort that the biggest source of distortion in the global economy is America's ultra- loose monetary policy—reinforced by the Federal Reserve's decision on November 3rd to restart “quantitative easing”, or printing money to buy government bonds (see article). Other emerging economies cry that they are innocent victims, as their currencies are forced up by foreign capital flooding into their markets and away from low yields elsewhere. These quarrels signify a problem that is more than superficial.

In this unforgettable experience, players. The underlying truth is that no one is happy with today's international monetary system—the set of rules, norms and institutions that govern the world's currencies and the flow of capital across borders. There are three broad complaints. The first concerns the dominance of the dollar as a reserve currency and America's management of it. The bulk of foreign- exchange transactions and reserves are in dollars, even though the United States accounts for only 2. GDP (see chart 1). A disproportionate share of world trade is conducted in dollars. To many people the supremacy of the greenback in commerce, commodity pricing and official reserves cannot be sensible. Not only does it fail to reflect the realities of the world economy; it leaves others vulnerable to America's domestic monetary policy. The second criticism is that the system has fostered the creation of vast foreign- exchange reserves, particularly by emerging economies. Global reserves have risen from $1. GDP) in 1. 99. 5 to $8. Emerging economies hold two- thirds of the total. Most of their hoard has been accumulated in the past ten years (see chart 2). These huge reserves offend economic logic, since they mean poor countries, which should have abundant investment opportunities of their own, are lending cheaply to richer ones, mainly America. Such lending helped precipitate the financial crisis by pushing down America's long- term interest rates. Today, with Americans saving rather than spending, they represent additional thrift at a time when the world needs more demand. The third complaint is about the scale and volatility of capital flows. Financial crises have become more frequent in the past three decades. Many politicians argue that a financial system in which emerging economies can suffer floods of foreign capital (as now) or sudden droughts (as in 1. France, which assumes the chairmanship of the G2. Seoul summit, thinks the world can do better. Nicolas Sarkozy, the country's president, wants to put international monetary reform at the top of the group's agenda for the next year. He wants a debate “without taboos” on how to improve an outdated system. Such a debate has in fact been going on sporadically for decades. Ever since the post- war Bretton Woods system of fixed but adjustable exchange rates fell apart in the 1. Utopian blueprints for a new version. The question is: what improvements are feasible? The shape of any monetary system is constrained by what is often called the “trilemma” of international economics. If capital can flow across borders, countries must choose between fixing their currencies and controlling their domestic monetary conditions. They cannot do both. Under the classical 1. The system collapsed largely because it allowed governments no domestic monetary flexibility. In the Bretton Woods regime currencies were pegged to the dollar, which in turn was tied to gold. Capital mobility was limited, so that countries had control over their own monetary conditions. The system collapsed in 1. America would not subordinate its domestic policies to the gold link. Today's system has no tie to gold or any other anchor, and contains a variety of exchange- rate regimes and capital controls. Most rich countries' currencies float more or less freely—although the creation of the euro was plainly a step in the opposite direction. Capital controls were lifted three decades ago and financial markets are highly integrated. Broadly, emerging economies are also seeing a freer flow of capital, thanks to globalisation as much as to the removal of restrictions. Net private flows to these economies are likely to reach $3. On paper, their currency regimes are also becoming more flexible. About 4. 0% of them officially float their currencies, up from less than 2. But most of these floats are heavily managed. Countries are loth to let their currencies move freely. When capital pours in, central banks buy foreign exchange to stem their rise. They do this in part because governments do not want their exchange rates to soar suddenly, crippling exporters. Many of them are worried about level as well as speed: they want export- led growth—and an undervalued currency to encourage it. Just as important are the scars left by the financial crises of the late 1. Foreign money fled, setting off deep recessions. Governments in many emerging economies concluded that in an era of financial globalisation safety lay in piling up huge reserves. That logic was reinforced in the crisis of 2. China or Brazil, fared better than those with less in hand. Even with reserves worth 2. GDP, South Korea had to turn to the Fed for an emergency liquidity line of dollars. This experience is forcing a rethink of what makes a “safe” level of reserves. Economists used to argue that developing countries needed foreign exchange mainly for emergency imports and short- term debt payments. A popular rule of thumb in the 1. Today's total far exceeds that. Among emerging economies, China plays by far the most influential role in the global monetary system. It is the biggest of them, and its currency is in effect tied to the dollar. The yuan is widely held to be undervalued, though it has risen faster in real than in nominal terms (see article). And because China limits capital flows more extensively and successfully than others, it has been able to keep the yuan cheap without stoking consumer- price inflation. China alone explains a large fraction of the global build- up of reserves (see chart 3). Its behaviour also affects others. Many other emerging economies, especially in Asia, are reluctant to risk their competitiveness by letting their currencies rise by much. As a result many of the world's most vibrant economies in effect shadow the dollar, in an arrangement that has been dubbed “Bretton Woods 2”. History lessons. The similarities between this quasi- dollar standard and the original Bretton Woods system mean that many of today's problems have historical parallels. Barry Eichengreen of the University of California, Berkeley, explores these in “Exorbitant Privilege”, a forthcoming book about the past and future of the international monetary system. Consider, for instance, the tension between emerging economies' demand for reserves and their fear that the main reserve currency, the dollar, may lose value—a dilemma first noted in 1. Robert Triffin, a Belgian economist. When the world relies on a single reserve currency, Triffin argued, that currency's home country must issue lots of assets (usually government bonds) to lubricate global commerce and meet the demand for reserves. But the more bonds it issues, the less likely it will be to honour its debts. In the end, the world's insatiable demand for the “risk- free” reserve asset will make that asset anything but risk- free. As an illustration of the modern thirst for dollars, the IMF reckons that at the current rate of accumulation global reserves would rise from 6. American GDP today to 2. If those reserves were, as today, held largely in Treasury bonds, America would struggle to sustain the burden. Unless it offset its Treasury liabilities to the rest of the world by acquiring foreign assets, it would find itself ever deeper in debt to foreigners. Triffin's suggested solution was to create an artificial reserve asset, tied to a basket of commodities. John Maynard Keynes had made a similar proposal a few years before, calling his asset “Bancor”. Keynes's idea was squashed by the Americans, who stood to lose from it. Triffin's was also ignored for 2. But in 1. 96. 9, as the strains between America's budget deficit and the dollar's gold peg emerged, an artificial reserve asset was created: the Special Drawing Right (SDR), run by the IMF. An SDR's value is based on a basket of the dollar, euro, pound and yen. The IMF's members agree on periodic allocations of SDRs, which countries can convert into other currencies if need be. However, use of SDRs has never really taken off. They make up less than 5% of global reserves and there are no private securities in SDRs. Some would like that to change. Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of China's central bank, caused a stir in March 2. SDR should become a true global reserve asset to replace the dollar. Mr Sarkozy seems to think similarly, calling for a multilateral approach to the monetary system. If commodities were priced in SDRs, the argument goes, their prices would be less volatile. And if countries held their reserves in SDRs, they would escape the Triffin dilemma. For SDRs to play this role, however, they would have to be much more plentiful. The IMF agreed on a $2. Even if there were lots more SDRs it is not clear why governments would want to hold them. The appeal of the dollar is that it is supported by the most liquid capital markets in the world. Few countries are likely to use SDRs much until there are deep private markets in SDR- denominated assets. Only if the IMF evolved into a global central bank able to issue them at speed could SDRs truly become a central reserve asset. This is highly unlikely. As Mr Eichengreen writes: “No global government… means no global central bank, which means no global currency. Full stop.”Nor is it clear that the SDR is really needed as an alternative to the dollar. The euro is a better candidate. Your Number's Up: Amazon. Toys & Games. Your number's Up!
