in a nutshell, every country will take turns devaluing their currency to try and keep exports alive. aka printing.
Cypherdoc is absolutely right about that... here's hedge fund badass Kyle Bass on this topic:

yes, i admire Kyle Bass.
whats interesting about the devaluation strategy is that while the central banks try to keep everyone elses currency stable, the ONE currency that can keep going down w/o imploding the economy is the USD.
and its b/c we indeed are the strongest economy in the world; forget China.
so, I THINK, the USD will continue its long term downtrend thus boosting everyone else in the meantime. we've seen this for 100 years.
Bitcoin anyone?
Isn't international finance fun? I've long been of the opinion that the rest of the world should be lined up around the block to suck our dicks as a thank you for picking the painful side of Triffen's Dilemma and keeping the world afloat. Everyone loves to party, but they hate to clean up.
