Peter Schiff has long highlighted systemic vulnerabilities in the fiat-currency-based global economy, including unsustainable debt, unchecked government spending, currency devaluation, and inflationary policies by central banks. Schiff’s central argument underscores that our monetary system, reliant on perpetual borrowing and currency issuance without tangible asset backing, is fundamentally flawed and poised for collapse.
The proposed Credit-to-Credit (C2C) Monetary System, anchored by Central Ura (URU) and managed by a new international oversight body—the Global Ura Authority (GUA)—represents a practical “Bretton Woods 2.0,” addressing these fundamental flaws while directly benefiting leading economies such as the United States.
Central Ura (URU): Money Backed by Real Value
Central Ura restores genuine monetary integrity, precisely countering the pitfalls Schiff repeatedly outlines.
Principles behind Central Ura:
- Credit-backed issuance: Each URU issued corresponds directly to verified assets, eliminating arbitrary money creation and preventing inflation.
- Gold-linked valuation: One URU equals the purchasing power of 1.69 grams of gold, establishing lasting stability and value preservation.
- Protective USD Floor: URU never falls below USD 136.04 per unit, providing an absolute safeguard against volatility and inflationary erosion.
The Credit-to-Credit (C2C) Monetary System: Ending Debt Dependency
Addressing Schiff’s critical warnings, the C2C System transitions nations from debt-based currency issuance to asset-based money creation.
Key Features of the C2C System:
- Elimination of debt-based currency creation: Governments create money from real economic assets rather than through debt, ceasing perpetual borrowing cycles.
- Transparent, verifiable issuance controls: Money issued under C2C must always be matched by audited real reserves, ensuring financial integrity and stability.
The Global Ura Authority (GUA): A New Bretton Woods Ensuring Stability and Cooperation
GUA will provide international oversight, addressing concerns raised by Schiff regarding economic manipulations and currency volatility that characterized post-1971 monetary systems.
GUA’s Structural Essentials:
- Balanced Multilateral Governance: Unlike the original Bretton Woods, GUA prevents single-currency domination, ensuring fairness and preventing manipulation.
- Broadened Reserve Basket: GUA reserves include gold, Central Ura, national receivables, and diversified commodities—avoiding the pitfalls of narrow asset reliance.
- “Making Whole” Protocols: GUA guarantees existing debts are fully paid during transition, ensuring creditors lose nothing and financial stability is preserved.
- Creditor-of-Last-Resort Framework: Governments under GUA become stabilizing entities rather than perpetual debtors, reinforcing economic stability.
How This Directly Addresses Schiff’s Economic Collapse Concerns:
Peter Schiff has consistently warned about:
- Currency Devaluation and Inflation: Central Ura’s stable, asset-linked valuation directly counters these issues.
- Excessive National Debt: C2C explicitly ends debt creation, ensuring future economic resilience.
- Economic Bubbles and Central Bank Manipulation: GUA’s rigorous oversight prevents reckless currency expansions, reducing market volatility and speculative bubbles.
- Investor Uncertainty: GUA’s transparent, audited asset backing assures investor confidence, eliminating hidden monetary risks.
How the United States and the U.S. Dollar Specifically Benefit:
Debt Elimination under the “Making Whole” Program:
Under the Treaty of Nairobi’s “Making Whole” provisions, the U.S. will experience a fundamental economic reset:
- Immediate Sovereign Debt Clearance: The vast U.S. sovereign debt—which Peter Schiff frequently cites as unsustainable and catastrophic—would be fully settled through Central Ura allocations. This debt clearance would alleviate fiscal burdens, dramatically reduce interest payments, and immediately restore fiscal credibility.
- Elimination of Debt Ceiling Crises: Removing national debt obligations permanently ends periodic political brinkmanship surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling, stabilizing governmental financial planning and enhancing political stability.
The U.S. Dollar Becomes Real Money Again:
Restoring the dollar to genuine monetary status offers critical economic and geopolitical advantages:
- Reinstatement of Stable Purchasing Power: Tying the dollar’s issuance to verified asset backing reinstates the historical strength and global confidence previously enjoyed under a gold standard. This ensures long-term price stability and reliable savings.
- Reinforced Global Credibility: Transitioning to C2C restores global trust in the U.S. Dollar, enhancing America’s economic leadership. Nations worldwide will once again confidently hold dollars, not merely due to coercion or convenience, but because the dollar represents real economic value and stability.
- Enhanced Trade and Investment: With guaranteed stability and intrinsic value, the dollar becomes even more attractive for global trade, bolstering U.S. economic power and influence. Investors worldwide would regard the U.S. as a premier financial safe haven, boosting foreign direct investment.
- End of Inflationary Monetary Policy: As the Federal Reserve can no longer issue money arbitrarily, inflation ceases being a hidden taxation on American citizens’ wealth and savings, directly benefiting U.S. households and businesses.
Ensuring Money Remains Money Under the Treaty of Nairobi:
To guarantee monetary integrity, the Treaty must emphasize:
- Mandatory and transparent audits of national reserves and issuance methods by the GUA.
- Legal accountability ensuring currency issuance strictly adheres to asset-backed rules.
- Standardized international valuation mechanisms for Central Ura and transitioning currencies.
- Robust dispute resolution frameworks, promptly addressing monetary abuses.
- Clear and binding “Making Whole” clauses, ensuring complete creditor settlements without causing market disruptions or systemic shocks.
Historical Precedent and Practical Realism:
Addressing Schiff’s warnings is both realistic and necessary. Historical experience validates this path:
- Learning from Bretton Woods: The original Bretton Woods collapsed partly due to reliance on a single currency and limited reserve diversity. The GUA explicitly rectifies these mistakes.
- Fiat System Failures: Post-1971 fiat regimes, criticized by Schiff, created massive debts and instability. C2C rectifies these fundamental systemic flaws, restoring monetary soundness.
Current global calls for a “Reset”—as emphasized by global leaders like Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley of Barbados and President Emmanuel Macron—indicate a rare international readiness to embrace exactly such structural change.
