King Dollar: The Past and Future of the World's Dominant Currency

內容簡介

內容簡介 數十年來，「美元將失去全球主導貨幣地位」的預言不斷回響，而且聲量正持續增加。加密貨幣支持者聲稱，比特幣或其他基於區塊鏈的貨幣單位將取代美元。外交政策強硬派警告，中國人民幣對美元構成致命威脅。而堅持健全貨幣理念的人則預測，不斷攀升的美國債務與通膨，終將侵蝕美元價值，使其走向無關緊要。與這些末日論者相反，保羅・布盧斯坦指出，除非美國政府出現災難性的政策失誤，否則美元在全球貨幣金字塔頂端的地位依然堅不可摧。透過回顧美國如何運用美元對對手實施具破壞性的制裁，布盧斯坦說明，儘管像俄羅斯這樣的目標國已找到減輕衝擊的方法，華盛頓的金融武器在未來很長一段時間內仍將保持威力。不過，他的重點在於：美國不能對美元掉以輕心；其霸權地位所帶來的巨大權力，也伴隨著相應的責任。An award-winning economic journalist on why the US dollar is positioned to maintain global primacy—and what that means for America and the world“Magisterial.”—Edward Chancellor, ReutersProphecies that the dollar will lose its status as the world’s dominant currency have echoed for decades—and 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’s renminbi poses a lethal threat to the greenback. And sound money zealots predict that mounting US debt and inflation will surely erode the dollar’s value to the point of irrelevancy.Contra the doomsayers, Paul Blustein shows that the dollar’s standing atop the world’s 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’s 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.
