Generally, a country could sell its goods in the best market it couldfind and buy what is needed from the least expensive supplier. Moreover, since currencies were

  convertible, most transactions could be completed with cash. Barter was as antiquated as thehorse-soldier. During the past few years, however, the international monelary system has begunto strain under a variety of economic changes. One important cause is the enormous burden ofdebt carried by Third W orld countries. A professor at Harvard University says, “The plain fact isthat many countries are broken.”
