I fully agree with Mr.Srinath money is an abstract
tool for representing/quantifying the value of goods
and services.
In the current International monetrary system, this
abstract tool itself is changing every day, it is like
if the meter changes it's length every day, you can
imagine what it will do to mesuring length.
True globalisation of trade in goods/services will
come into effect only when we use a common monetary
system like we have a common measure, *meter* for
length.
