Description
The Dollar Crisis: Causes, Consequences, Cures by Richard Duncan. A comprehensive analysis of the international monetary system's flaws and their impact on the global economy. This updated second edition examines how the US trade deficits have destabilized the world, creating a worldwide credit bubble that may soon lead to a deflation-induced economic slump. The book is divided into five parts, offering original recommendations for mitigating the damage of the coming downturn and laying the foundations for sustainable economic growth in the decades ahead. The author also explores how the Dollar Crisis has evolved since its first edition was published in 2002 and considers the likely policy response to the crisis and why it cannot succeed. The Dollar Standard is inherently flawed and increasingly unstable, making its collapse a significant event that will shape the 21st Century's economic landscape.
