The political value of the dollar depends upon what the politicians is
willing do for it. In most areas of the US, one still needs to bribe the
local politicians in order to cover meadows with asphalt (change zoning
laws). Bribes are just part of the cost of doing business.
You are right, corporations do rule the world.

I agree. The global economy will simply devour everything it can until it
self-destructs. Then, with no resources left, humanity will die-off to just
a small fraction of the present population.
