    What makes you think that would be any different if we had one world government?

Because our currency wouldn't have to be strong or hold up in a world market. If there was only one currency, money wouldn't really matter. We COULD just print it and give it to everyone based on whatever set of rules we wanted to. We could move away from current pay structures, and it would give the government a much more flexible way to approach how we take care of our people and our living standards.

Also, I'm not a programmer I'm in Infrastructure, but that was an interesting read. :)

Intra-market inflation would still be applicable in that case, though. Unless the world government is fixing prices, the cost of items would increase as the government flooded the market with printed money.
