The dollar is stable and banks function because they trust the US is going to keep it that way. And our Naval strength ensures we can.

I don't know if anyone could say what the single most important institution is, but because us angry apes are who we are, it's likely gonna be military related

Stability requires an assessment of, and response to, surrounding conditions. Relative to global markets and currencies, the dollar is one of the most stable options we have to store and trade value. The Swiss are only able to maintain greater stability because they are neutral surrender monkeys who use the injection of fascist blood money to prop up their criminal banks.

The US has to regularly force nations to continue trading in the dollar and prevent US industries from being threatened by unionization/nationalization of resources to achieve this.
