Petrodollar System: Dollar Ka Asli 'Gold'
1971 mein jab America ne paper dollar ko Gold main convert karne ka wada torr diya, toh poori duniya uss 'Kagaz (hawa) ke Note' ko kyun respect karti aa rahi hai? America ne uski value kaise bachai?
1970s mein, America ne Saudi Arabia (aur OPEC nations) k sath aek clever Master-stroke mara. America ne kaha, 'Hum tumhari dictatorship ko military defense dengay, pr badle main tum poori dunya ko apna Petrol / Oil sirf aur sirf US Dollar mein bechogay'.
Ab agar Japan, India ya Europe ko gariyan (Cars) chalani hain, toh Oil chahiye. Aur Oil lene ke liye unhe pehle apni currency bech kar US Dollars khareedne partay hain! Automatic taur par dunya bher ko kaghaz ka dollar chahiyee hi chahye tha.
Isay Petro-Dollar kehte hain. Dollar ke peechay se real Gold hata kar, uske peechay (Backing) Duniya ka sabse zaroori item - Kala Sona (Oil / Energy) - bind kar diya gaya. Har mulk apni Central bank mein Dollars save karne par majboor ho gaya taake kal ko Tel (oil) le sake, jis ne Dollar ko duniya ki zinda haqeeqat (Reserve Currency) bana diya.
Sochiye: Jab aek super power yeh force kar de ke mere chhapay huye panno (Notes) ke baghair aap ki gariyan/industry nahi chalegi... toh kya free market azaad bachi ya Oil-Monopoly ki ghulam ho gayi?
Key Takeaway
Modern US Dollar ki taqat American military aur Oil trade ('PetroDollar') ke us historic deal per chalti hai. Ye usy dunya k liye majboori banata he.
