Why compare currencies? As was stated earlier in this thread, the Japanese Yen was smokin' against the Dollar at one time. At one time.
Europe does have a larger population. At this time. They also have a declining birth rate Yorik. The population of the US is still growing.
Hmmmm, let's see, the Russians had their empire. As did the French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italians, and Germans. And Turkey too, if they are let into the EU. And let's not forget the big kid on the block when it comes to empire building: The English. Remember, the sun, at one time, never set on the British Empire. So European militarism and expansionism far exceded anything we have ever contemplated.
And socialism will always fail. It will fail because it ends up controling the lives of the people living under it to the point that they turn on it.
