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