Why can’t the world have one currency?
There is no reason we couldn't, it wouldn't even be hard to implement if we got 100% buy in from all countries. The problem is that having your own currency is awesome. You can manipulate it to control inflation, interest rates, and other economic factors.
The Short Answer
There is no reason we couldn't, it wouldn't even be hard to implement if we got 100% buy in from all countries. The problem is that having your own currency is awesome. You can manipulate it to control inflation, interest rates, and other economic factors. You are somewhat detached from other countries, so their economic troubles don't necessarily become yours (Example – Germany and Greece). Given the benefits of having your own currency (along with a certain amount of national pride) it is unlikely we will have a global currency for the foreseeable future.
