The depression happens if the World bamk stops using US dollars as its reserve currency. Essentially the effect of that would be that the US can no longer print money to pay off its debts and essentially goes bankrupt as there is no way it coudl even pay off interest on the debts it has let alone principal. It is said that China holds a lot of US debt and they have invested that money into hard assets (oil companies, buildings, land) because if the US dollar is lost so will the debt. If they have hard assets at least they have something.
I know this is not Greece but everything is linked now in the world. If this was to happen (US dollar no longer reserve currency) imagine what the impact woudl be on the world?
Scary stuff
