    Check it out and let us know what you think!
    From a political and social point of view, Latin America is one of the most homogeneous regions in the world: in terms of language, culture and religion, most of the countries in this region share the same roots.
    However, all these similarities and all these ties have a very clear limit: the economy. Surprisingly, in the economic field, the region is very poorly integrated and the variety of policies is vast.
    Despite this, the dream of a single currency, the dollar or the “Latin American euro”, has emerged periodically. Now it is Brazil and Argentina who are leading this trend. In this video we tell you all the details.

    You guys should do a video about the “African Gold Dinar” that Gaddafi wanted to setup as a continental currency that Libya’s oil would be priced in.
    He held ~160 tonnes of gold at the libyan central bank which he repeatedly refused to send to the federal reserve for “safe keeping”. The dinars would be cast from this libyian gold and used around Africa for commerce.
    Shortly after Gaddafi was overthrown Libya’s gold reserves disappeared.

    Most of these countries are plagued with bad fiscal accounting and corruption, introducing a common currency would most likely be a huge burden and cause a lot of political unrest if introduced. This is just like the African golden Dinar headed by Libya back in the day. Each country would loose its ability to compensate for inflation or to stimulate local businesses to a large extent. Most of these countries are very indebted like Argentina, how on earth would they be able to bankroll debt and variance in neighboring local businesses outputs? Many would say that you should have low corruption ratios, stable political government with at least a hint of transparency, good tax collection and at least some sort of a fiscal accounting before you start thinking of merging your currency and peg it and let it float with other countries. I’m all for it because it’s a stabilizing factor for countries able to cooperate and run a common currency, but often it hurts a lot for those countries that have an unstable economy, just look how Greece has been struggling the last 10 years.

    Having a single currency would be good if the managing entity was truly independent from the member states. South American governments are addicted to printing money to fix their financial irresponsibilities.
    But I find strange a left leader like Lula (who the whirring sound of a printer working turns him on) talking about this.
    South america isn't in a civilizatory state for that yet. We're still thinking only on what's for lunch or dinner. Especially after the hyperinflations in the past, Brazilians especially only think about the now.
    We have a lot to grow to have financial stability.
    Still, I'm totally up for a currency if the members have to be held accountable for their finances and there's a cap on the printing.

Where is the 1 of the biggest players in Latin America - Mexico? They have the 2nd largest economy in LA and there was hardly any mention of them.
    It’s also important to note that currently, with the election of Lula in Brazil, Latin America will become 1 of the most left leaning regions in the world. Which would be an important topic to explore in a future video and ties with the economics of the regions and their respective countries.

    This would destroy LA. Mass migrations would be essentially encouraged by the fact that no matter where anyone goes for “better opportunity” they can always rely on their currency having the same value. Many countries would become population deserts while bigger more prosperous cities/countries draw migrants. Slowly these less populated regions would become major farm/ranch lands as with the US in states like Kansas/Montana/Etc. If there was serious unity, the nations would need to push for unionization before it reaches this level of unsustainability

    Too much corruption and instability - sadly. South America in general and Argentina in particular want everything now but without taking the time to build the foundations. A common currency might eventually come, but it needs to be step-by-step: like the Europeans. Think how long it took from the establishment of the Common Market to the creation of the Eurozone.
    One of the biggest problems I have noticed in Argentina (and it applies equally to other countries in the region) is that there is no "Plan". There is no consensus on the direction of the country and what it is trying to achieve. A new government comes in to simply undo what the previous one tried, and any long term in office - Kirchnerismo, for example - finishes up spinning in circles and arguing between themselves. Having a transnational goal which all are working towards might be a solution.
    The European Project had/has a special foundation and goal. It was imagined as a peace project to finally put an end to centuries of war. And that is still the fundamental driving force behind it (something the UK never really understood). A Latin American Project would have to find it's own common reason to exist.
