This article is based on a Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Mundell talking about how a single world currency is not likely to happen or be adopted by the world. He stated that in order for this to potentially happen, the US dollar and the Euro would have to merge and create a "eurodollar", as they are the "two most important currencies" in the world.

This article talks about the "rare" trade deficit that China may experience next year. This is due to weak demand in Europe and America for Chinese imports. It is ironic in the sense that we perceive China as an exporting 'power-house' and now it is experiencing a trade deficit. This would limit the growth for the Chinese economy.
