Currency issue
What is a paper currency? It is a mode of exchange, it is a piece of paper with no value of its own. There are many instances of economies of countries collapsing just due to exchange rates of their currencies.
Today also we see that currencies get strong and weak against the US dollar, creating panic amongst the people. People lose a lot of their hard earned money, just due to this system of paper against a paper. Nowadays US dollar is the international mode of exchange, so many countries have their reserves in USD. If the USD weakens those countries which do not have gold reserves will be brought down to ruins. There are a lot of other disasters that will follow the fall of dollar. Third world countries are the ones which will be the most exposed to this threat.
What is the solution? I think having a common currency all over the world will be the best solution to this problem.
