CAIRO – Today's international monetary system emerged from the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944, when imperial powers still ruled most of the Global South. It was conceived by and for the benefit of just a few wealthy countries, and it has served them well.

If the world economy is to avoid deeper fragmentation in this new age of multipolarity and geopolitical competition, major reforms will be needed to correct the financial system's structural birth defects. That is why Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati has taken aim at the high costs associated with over-reliance on just a few reserve currencies, making the case, during Indonesia's G20

Taylor Swift fans are scrambling for tickets to the pop artist's sold out "Eras Tour ." The rush for seats is also inviting the interest of another party: scammers.  The Better Business Bureau warns of at least 20 distinct instances of related scams.

Other scammers are hacking into Facebook users' accounts to impersonate them and dupe their close contacts into transferring them money for tickets that don't exist. Strong demand for tickets, coupled with mobile technology that makes it hard to spot fake tickets, puts consumers at risk of being duped into purchasing phony tickets, according to consumer watchdog Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG). Along with Swift, some of the biggest names in entertainment, such as Beyoncé, Pink and the Arctic Monkeys, have up
