Can anyone tell me why having a world currency and a world government would be worse than what we have right now?

Coincidentally, I was talking with a coworker about this today. I predict (arbitrarily) that we'll have a world currency before a world government--I think the banks would be centralized first...could happen in the next 20 years, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

A few to start; Surrender/loss of sovereignty; Central control over decentralised control (debateable, but I personally think communities are ultimately better placed to make their own decisions rather than have some absent super-state make the decisions for them); loss of political diversity, I think this is potentially very dangerous. If we become complicit in the idea of a single world government, then who'll determine its politic and who will challenge the political status-quo once it's established? A recipe for autocracy if ever there was one.

I think your theories regarding how this may unfold i.e. global economy first, are pretty sound. Stands to reason that we should be economically homogeneous before we start submitting to ideas of political homogeneity. We're not talking short-term here. A global currency is (for some at least i.e. Europe) probably decades away. A new world order? Generations.

As I mentioned in another thread, the big global powerhouse institutions (World Bank, WTO, WMF et cetera) are, in many respects, already aligning themselves for convergence. To some, this may represent an interesting socio-eco-political idea. But, once these institutions are in place and functioning in concert and are then coupled with some kind of new single monetary system and then some form of all-embracing political governance, you then have to ask yourselves just how long it'll be before there is a single military. The world may indeed be a safer place, but god forbid a few generations from now when our kids, kids, kids might want to try something new. Retention and active promotion of diversification is the only safe guard against this.

Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws.

I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, ...The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply.

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.

Wait we are going to go STRAIGHT to a global currency? I thought we were going to give up a little piece of our sovereignty regionally first, then work our way up? What happened to the Amero?
