The Rise and Fall of the Dollar: Is the rise of the Euro and Renminbo dooming the Dollar?
[ a presentation by Barry Eichengreen, Ph.D., Economist, University of California, Berkeley ]
When winners win wars, they write new rules. The U.S. was the only undamaged big economy coming out of WW II; thus the dollar became the world’s preeminent currency. But is the damaged dollar doomed, a demise brought on by the rise of the EURO and China’s renminbi?
In Eichengreen’s new book Exorbitant Privilege, he argues that the threat is domestic, not international. The greenback’s fate hinges not on Asia or Europe but on U.S. policy decisions.
