i've been looking into this a bit since this morning's headline in the guardian indicated that things seem already on their way into a new slippage, tectonic-wise.
it almost sounds like the only way that the pound can be held together is by way of another international currency regime being jammed into place very quickly--something on the order of another bretton woods. i don't see that happening.
but i thought the entire idea behind the imf--before it was transmorgrophied into an instrument of neoliberal-style colonialism--was to prevent currency collapse in the metropole. does it still have that functionality?
if not, what are the options?
