TIP760: Dollar Dominance Decline w/ Lyn Alden
Duration: 01:18:37
October 12, 2025
- The US dollar's quantitative dominance likely peaked in the early 2000s, and a more multipolar currency system is emerging with the rise of other currencies and neutral reserve assets like gold.
- The US's structural trade deficits, necessary to maintain dollar dominance, have hollowed out its industrial base, creating a vulnerability if global dollar demand decreases, making an "inelegant" loss of dominance a primary concern.
