>>In what way is the US Dollar not unbacked fiat money?

Too sleepy to articulate this well last night, but the use of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency is one of the clearest indications of the extent of the American empire.

What are the indications of the extent of an empire? One peace, one law, one language, one currency.

The "one law" mostly exists as commercial law, but that's the way it always was. Local law governs purely local matters like marriage and property.
