If monk Occam had lived to the 21st century and tried to comprehend the structure of the world economy, he would probably not only have lost his speech — he would have burned his notes and gone into digital hermitage. His famous 'razor', according to which 'entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity', would have dulled on the very first attempt to 'uncover' the structure of the global currency system. We live in a world where entities multiply — currencies, derivatives, schemes, superstructures, central banks, cryptocurrencies, ETFs. Complexity has become the new norm.
