I explain Keynes&#8217;s proposal for an international unit of account called the Bancor, and support Zhou Xiaochuan, the Governor of the Central Bank of China, in calling for its introduction. I also argue that Latin America should in the meantime develop its own unit of account for intra-CELAC trade.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FoLyd_Hq32Q?rel=0\" style=\"border:thick ridge #009900\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<pre>\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>The speech even mentions some <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sourceforge.net\/p\/minsky\/\" title=\"Open Source from Source Forge\" target=\"_blank\">open source software called Minsky<\/a><\/strong>.
