currency, articulated by Chinese central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan, seems
as idealistic as the quest to establish a universal language, with obstacles
to such an undertaking unlikely to be resolved any time soon. But then again,

"The SDR is "basically the Esperanto, at best, of international currencies,"
says Jeffrey Frankel, an economist at Harvard University, referring to the
ill-fated attempt to create a common language. "It's not at all used.""
