\n An award-winning economic journalist on why the US dollar is positioned to maintain global primacy\u2014and what that means for America and the world
\u00a0
Prophecies that the dollar will lose its status as the world\u2019s dominant currency have echoed for decades\u2014and are increasing in volume. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts claim that Bitcoin or other blockchain-based monetary units will replace the dollar. Foreign policy hawks warn that China\u2019s renminbi poses a lethal threat to the greenback. And sound money zealots predict that mounting US debt and inflation will surely erode the dollar\u2019s value to the point of irrelevancy.
\u00a0
Contra the doomsayers, Paul Blustein shows that the dollar\u2019s standing atop the world\u2019s currency pyramid is impregnable, barring catastrophic policy missteps by the US government. Recounting how the United States has wielded the dollar to impose devastating sanctions against adversaries, Blustein explains that although targets such as Russia have found ways to limit the damage, Washington\u2019s financial weaponry will retain potency long into the future. His message, however, is that America must not be complacent about the dollar; the great power that its supremacy confers comes with commensurate responsibility.
