Features: What events are happening with the US dollar in the world today? Why has the value of the US currency dropped significantly over the past 10 years? Who is allowing or encouraging the inflation of the US dollar? How long will the weakness of the US dollar last? If possible, when can the US dollar regain its former glory? Martin Mayer has gathered information from White House insiders and decision-makers, writing a shocking narrative history set against the backdrop of Vietnam, OPEC, the growing EU, the revival of Germany and Japan, and the modern world of rapid and convenient financial communication. In later chapters, Martin Mayer compiles many of the outstanding financial ideas of our time to help us understand and grasp our current situation. Next, he summarizes and distills lessons from the past and proposes the options that the United States may still have in the near future.
