Interviewer: And why do you think it's such a sound currency?
Jim Rogers: There's no such thing as a sound currency anymore except maybe the Singapore Dollar but it would have its own problems.
If Singapore maintains a sound currency and everybody else doesn't, Singapore will go out of business 'cause they won't be able to compete.
In 2015 every politican in the world will be buying votes by debasing his currency. 2012, 2011, politicians all over the world now know how to buy votes and they do by debasing the currency, so the idea of a sound currency does not exist. 50 years ago yes, the concept of sound currencies existed. There's no such thing anymore.
