An exorbitant privilege — and a persistent one
Asking what the world would look like without the USD as the unquestioned world reserve currency across finance and trade is a bit like asking a fish what the world would be like without water.
There isn’t an obvious alternative to the dollar.
There are a range of currencies that investors could diversify into, but no single obvious option to replicate the way the dollar replaced sterling in 1945.
Dear readers,
This blog is yours: I maintain it diligently, with both consistency and passion. Thousands of articles and analyses are available to you here, some dating all the way back to 1993!
What were once considered heterodox views on macroeconomics have, over time, become widely accepted and recognized. Regardless, my positions have always been sincere.
As you can imagine — whether you’re discovering this site for the first time or have been reading me for years — the energy and time I dedicate to my research are substantial. This work will remain volunteer-based, and freely accessible to all.
I’ve made this payment platform available, and I encourage you to support my efforts through one-time or recurring donations.
A heartfelt thank you to all those who choose to support my work.
