Hoppe on Special Drawing Rights

“a move toward a one-world currency and a one-world bank”

Hoppe treats Special Drawing Rights as part of post-1971 monetary centralization. In The Economics and Ethics of Private Property, the point is institutional: IMF issuance moves monetary authority upward from national currencies toward an international reserve and settlement layer administered through state-linked banking institutions.

The claim is narrower than a full theory of IMF law. It says SDRs are not a neutral accounting convenience in Hoppe’s monetary-political frame. They are part of a centralizing architecture; reported eligibility conditions matter because allocation rules sit on that architecture.
