Chapter 124 Yuri's Revenge
"The issue of gold and US dollar exchange in the Breston Forest system does not mean that the US gold can support the overall US dollar usage rate, but is determined based on the US income deficit and surplus! The United States uses gold as margin to maintain the stability of the capitalist financial market through throwing and recycling, and uses the leverage effect to maintain the stability of the US dollar! But we believe that the entire Breston Forest system has fundamental structural problems! After the war, the economic strength of other places outside the United States has recovered a lot. Now, several countries, including our Soviet Union, are brewing currency reforms!" In Selov's office, a man in his forties was explaining economic knowledge to the KGB vice chairman. Selov, who was sitting on the sand, nodded constantly and did not dare to disturb the person's ideas.??w·
As the vice chairman of the KGB, the teachers Selov looked for when he was studying were famous. The person who talked in front of him was Leonid Kantorovitch, an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, who was an outstanding scientist, mathematician, and economist.
Selov listened to Leonid Contorovic's lecture very seriously, and a feeling of admiration arose in his heart. Because he knew from later generations that the Breston Forest system had collapsed. It was because of the persistence of the US dollar crisis that the United States ultimately forced the United States to abandon the Breston Forest system. In a sense, although the Breston Forest system supported the United States, it also limited the power of the United States' dollar, and the oil dollar in later generations could support the United States' currency increase.
"Comrade Leonid Kantorovitch, after you say that, it seems that the Braston Forest system seems to be really problematic!" Serov asked curiously, "So is the Braston Forest system considered a good system?"
"This question is good, General Serov!" Contorovic nodded and said, "The gold standard system on which the Breston Forest system relies is based on a relatively constant standard, and the actual situation is not as simple as the surface! The population will grow more and more, and the US dollar will definitely overload the volume! As time goes by, the Breston Forest system will definitely become more and more unstable, because the amount of gold mining is far less rapid than the volume of the United States! The Breston Forest system itself is a structural problem..."
Selov acted like he was educated.·When he understood the specific problem, is this problem easy to solve? It is easy to solve. As long as the Americans are more conscientious, they will not secretly increase the volume of the US dollar. Even if the Braston Forest system cannot last forever, it will never be abandoned in just over twenty years. The problem is that the United States secretly increased the volume of the US dollar to make up for its own deficit, but was targeted by other countries. In the 1960s, there were shadows of other countries behind these crises. Among them, the close allies of the United States, Britain, France and Germany, were all among them.
Now the United States is the strongest country in the world and has the most powerful armed forces. The Breston Woods system was built by the Americans. Is it possible to expect Americans to not be scrupulous and steal? As a spy leader, Selov can understand this kind of trade-offs and entanglement between American interests and American allies more than others.
From this point of view, the Breston Forest system will inevitably collapse due to this fundamental institutional difference. As a substitute, the United States finally found oil as the support of the US dollar. In fact, the Soviet Union can be said to be a beneficiary in the early stages of the establishment of the oil dollar. The United States and the Soviet Union jointly held down Britain, France and Germany, which had impacted the success of the Breston Forest system. At the time of the oil dollar, it consolidated the status of the United States and the Soviet-level powers, ensuring that the United Kingdom, France and Germany alone could not challenge them.
"Comrade Leonid Kantorovitch, I'm disturbing you! I hope it won't delay your research topic!" The alarm clock on Selov's desk rang, indicating that today's economics course was over. I stood up and held Academician Leonid Kantorovitch's hand, expressing my gratitude to the academician of the Academy of Sciences for the arrival of this academician.
"It's okay, Comrade Selov! I have a note here. You can come to me anytime when you want to figure out the issues in economics!" Leonid Kantorovitch said very familiarly. A KGB vice-chairman became his student, and he himself felt it was a proud thing, so he gave one of his notes as a gift to Selov.
"Let's leave after dinner. The food from our General Administration is still OK!" It was almost noon, and Selov naturally refused to let Kantorovitch go back hungry, which was too unscrupulous to take scientists seriously.
While eating in the cafeteria, Selov asked some more questions. These questions all involved the Soviet planned economy, and finally Leonid Kantorovitch also answered Selov one by one.
In the afternoon, Selov had a class, and the afternoon course was a psychology course. The teacher was found by Dr. Yagodai. According to Dr. Yagodai, this was also his teacher. He was the most authoritative psychologist in the Soviet Union. He was more authoritative than Kiagodai.
After dinner, the car that was sending Cantorovic away, a car slowly stopped at the door of the General Administration of Military Administration and an old man who was nearly 60 years old was already gray. However, from his appearance, it can be seen that the old man was a handsome guy when he was young. The old man had a pair of eyes that seemed to have insight into everything, and he felt like everything was in control.
Leonjiv, director of the Psychology Teaching and Research Department of the Department of Philosophy at Moscow University, has worked with famous Soviet psychologists. Psychology is not valued in the Soviet Union, but Leonjiv still tried his best to continue his research in psychology as much as possible with limited support.
Economics and psychology courses have now replaced Selov's original painting classes and music classes. After all, music and painting can only be used as pastime and are far less useful than economics and psychology courses. Especially psychology is very important for an agent. The agent's lurking disguise is related to this subject. If targeted anti-detection exercises can be made, it can greatly reduce the chance of being revealed, and the possibility of defection will be reduced without being revealed. Naturally, there is no need to let the KGB Operations Execution Department, which is full of killers, always wander around the world.
The heroes of the world come out and come into the world for years. The most suitable profession for summarizing this sentence is the killer! If the executioners who make a living by killing people can kill less, they will not always go to the general hospital for psychological treatment.
