When the US is able to restrict oil trade to the US dollar, being able to manipulate the value of the USD allows them to control oil prices. That's completely ignoring the deep ties between KSA and the other gulf states and the US treasury.
But none of that is happening...so irrelevant. Even so, that is not "direct control"...
The reason I ask is because that's a trick that's often been used to generate favourable unemployment numbers. If you exclude the long-term unemployed and people who have given up looking for work, your employment numbers go up because you're completely ignoring people who are, for all intents and purposes unemployed but cannot find work… Often because their industries have dried up or general employment has become extremely difficult in specific areas.
Again, the same "trick" is in play regardless of the unemployment level being 10% or 1%..there is always a % of people who are not counted...it's logical the higher the official figure is the higher the "not counted" % is too... -

lol. why exactly do you think up until the last few years, virtually the entire oil trade has been in dollars?
That doesn't give the "owner" of the currency "direct control"...OPEC controls 80% of the oil market...
so how is that unemployment value calculated?
is it a percentage of the population not currently working? is it the usual figure of people currently not working who have worked in the last several months, completely disregarding people who haven't worked beyond that range? does the study even disclose that?
It's measured the same way whether the figure is 10% or 1%...a downward trend does not indicate a failing economy especially in conjunction with everything else being UP UP UP...lol -

Originally posted by aldra several oil-extracting countries have switched away from the dollar (one of the key reasons Iraq and Libya got rekt), and there are now alternatives to debt-slavery through the IMF and other US-controlled international financial institutions.
Without direct control over the international oil and financial markets, the US' only real strength is in military action - a country that produces so little (vast majority of the economy is tied to speculation, rather than production) has no chance to survive, let alone dominate without the advantages it's historically held for the last 70 years or so
