The Brian D. O'Leary Show
The first and perhaps only presidential debate happened on June 27. Adam Haman and Brian O'Leary have the definitive smackdown of the whole thing.

o the direct (and absolute) power to enforce a unit of account in which economic calculations are made in the world economy.

· a currency which is stable, does not fluctuate much, and provides the foundation for exchange rates for international transactions. Because of their global use, key currencies tend to set the value of other currencies. Also, these currencies tend to have a stable valuation over time. A key currency usually comes from a country that is financially strong, economically stable and developed, and one that is involved in the global market.
