Heinz, the strong dollar policy has a very clear purpose ----- compensate the hard working people of the world with less real value. If the US dollar had any intrinsic value by having this policy the payments for raw material, goods and services are even less than previously anticipated due to the high value of the dollar. The second reason for pushing the dollar even higher is to mask the actual trade deficit and luring exporting countries to hold their hard earned paper money in the US, and this is also mostly achieved by the military might and patronage of the US (no different than protection money in your downtown night club). Money performs its primary function when it represents real goods and services in the process of exchange. It becomes capital when it transfers the right to command over goods and services already extant—but not consumed by their owners—to those who wish to move away from the immediate satisfaction of consumers’ wants and to work instead at some process more removed, but which it is hoped eventually will be more fruitful in the ultimate fulfilment of those wants. In a nuthshell the strong dollar policy is all a very big swindle which goes on for many years. It is just as simple. references to read mises.org mises.org BWDIK Haim
