The dollar had a long and robust life. The U.S citizens are asking for close borders and less international interference, the World is tired of the "The U.S problem is the World problem; the World problem is the World problem" basically. After the pandemic everyone survived and learned. Almost everyone. So, the U.S should give to the citizens what they want. No more imports, no more exports, as far as I saw, many citizens agree they don't need other countries. So, close up, the world will keep spinning. Win/Win The U.S will be happy, the world will be better. Sounds like a dream to me honestly

In spite of how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, there is already an excessive amount of demand waiting to absorb it, which is another reason it's less likely to happen that way. This forecast was not made in 2008, at least not by the general public, as I will explain below. The ownership rate peaked in 2004, according to the other comment. We reached a peak in the second quarter of 2020 and are currently at the median level. From 2008 to 2012, it fell by 3%, and in the second quarter of 2020, it dropped from 68 to 65. how can a young man with 200K survive?

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

I interpret for a Vietnamese company a few weeks ago. They deal with wheels balancers and tire-rimming machine imported from China. Vietnam and China have a massive ammount of trade going on, shares a land border and have similar culture so it would be easy to quote the prices in yuan or VND right? Wrong. Everything is in US dollars and from talking with the Vietnamese company, dealing with Yuan is super difficult and rare, like 1% of deals they have. If the partners say it must be yuan the Vietnamese company have to use under the table means to settle the transaction. Same thing with the PC components industry. You barely see yuan uses here in Vietnam.

Yeahhh, no this just isn't true. This is an ignorant westerners' dream, if the Dollar-centric world we live in falls, in the world we live in right now, China wins by default. Currency matters specifically because it's one of the few ways China can topple the US global dominance without something more drastic taking place, like war or overt conflict. China has most of Africa bought and paid for. China controls 45% of global manufacturing. China has the entire ME and Gulf onboard because the US backs Israel, and occasionally comes and invades countries without provocation, and most of the Gulf isn't down with that. China's military, political, and economical might wipes the floor with the EU The only saving grace is what was referenced in the video. Chinese supremacy is limited to China because that's how they built their country, from the inside out, so quickly. Conversely, US supremach is defined by it's influence and control of the world outside it. The US loses that power practically overnight if it chooses to abuse it, which makes it a moot "trump card" to hold. And if China truly does find a way to weaponize its currency without shaking its powerbase internally, there is no country, or "Union" on earth that is standing against it. Today, on a de-facto basis, if the US isn't the US anymore, China wins. Nobody else can compete. The EU will very quickly bow down because it's nation states are dependent on Chinese imports.

It's also worth noting, that even in the highly unlikely event that the USD is credibly challenged, whether by a hypothetical BRICS currency, or more likely by a traditional currency, that the British pound remained the global reserve currency long after Britain stopped being the worlds strongest economy. It's as much a product of inertia as anything else, which was only really stopped by Britain being nigh bankruipted by two world wars. So not only does an economy have to become much larger than the USA. It also has permit transactions without crippling capital controls, unlike China who is currently the only real contender. After all, you can't be the global reserve if the globe can't reserve you. But it also has to stay that way for damn near 100 years. Or it has to wait for the USA to suffer an economic collapse, which as you note would almost certainly mean a global economic collapse.

One thing I didn’t hear you mention is a big reason the US dollar is a leading reserve currency is because the US is a huge net importer.

This makes many of the currencies you mentioned unsuitable as a reserve, among other reasons like pegs, lack of robustness of financial institutions, etc.

The other option that wasn't mentioned is the possibility of a tie of the exchange notes to a portion of gold convertibility. BRICS nations are large players in international gold markets. The convertibility creates a link that reduces the incentive to inflate the value and central banks for the countries could easily exchange gold for energy commodities to re-balance the accounts. There's no need to physically exchange gold, you just simply credit other things the governments trade against the imbalance.

Same thing in the other direction - a barrel of oil can only be worth "5000 kilos of gold" if you can find someone willing to give you 5000kg of gold in exchange for a barrel of oil. In reality, nobody wants gold badly enough for the world's supply of gold to be enough to express the value of global trade. Hence, it's not a suitable choice for a currency you expect to use for global trade.

@@johnblaker2454 Basic monetary theory is incapable of truly modeling a complex modern economy. Which is why it is only _basic_ monetary theory. In reality, if you need enough currency to express a quantity of economic activity worth X but the amount of gold in the world is below that value... then a genuine gold standard is impossible. The only meaningful compromise is a horrible combination of fractional reserve banking and a gold standard, where each unit of currency is somehow only worth some fraction of its face value in gold, presumably with a floating rate based on market forces. And congratulations, at that point you've reinvented the gold market with fiat currency, just with extra steps. This isn't a new idea. It's been brought up a number of times, especially around when we abandoned the gold standard - a lot of people were very invested in hanging onto at least a semblance of it. Every time it gets laughed out of the room, because it really doesn't accomplish anything except make more paperwork for everyone.

Until there is a currency that can buy anything, anywhere, at anytime, while maintaining its value( at least relative to other currencies), and being available in volume the US Dollar will remain. Also any country that replaces the dollar will have to be able to deal with massive trade deficits. It always struck me as weird that people worried about the trade deficit since that was how dollars entered the international market. e.g. China needs to sell more to the US than it buys in order to have dollars to buy oil from Saudi Arabia who then needs those dollars to import food, weapons, and the like from the US among others. If the US has no trade deficit the dollar cannot be the world's currency as there'd be no way for most countries to acquire it other than buying bonds( which you need dollars in the first place to buy) or exchanging gold or other resources with US institutions for dollars.

Due to Lend-lease, the Marshall-plan, its holding of gold, and other economic aid and commerce the US provided to win WWII, the world became became dependent on the dollar over the British pound. This led to the Bretton-Woods Conference and subsequent agreement in 1944 where all 44 Allied nations, including the Soviet Union, met to set the global financial system for the post-WWII era. This established the IMF and emphasized free trade but the part that angered the USSR was the US Dollar was to becoming an international standard for exchange rates as well as gold. Their delegates ultimately signed the agreement but the USSR never ratified it by contributing to the IMF. But because the Soviet Union usually focused on self-sustainability and only had usually less that 5 percent of its GDP resulting from foreign trade, it didn't impact foreign markets that much.

I saw somewhere else in this comment section that the reason the Euro did not become the default global reserve is because it never federalized. I take this to mean there is no singular economic policy maker like the federal reserve in Europe. Decisions made in economic policy within the EU have multiple nations, each with their own share of often competing interests. If a group of nations which largely border each other and have strong historical, cultural and political ties cannot come together on a currency, I have a suspicion a BRICS currency would have even more trouble. This is why the USD is so powerful and stable, there is only one party dictating policy so only one interest is considered. If we are talking about the dominant global reserve currency, the reason the USD is in that role is because the US is the largest economy in the world. Almost every nation on Earth does business with it in some way. BRICS economies all together barely exceed the nominal GDP of the US and adding those others like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Argentina etc would barely move that needle.

It is crucial to differentiate between fiscal and monetary policy. Europe does have separate fiscal policies, aka governments collecting their own revenue and spending it at their own discretion. But Europe does not have a separate monetary policy, the European Central Bank controls interest rates, open market operations just as the Federal Reserve in the US. Depending on how you look at it, Europe is closer to the US than one might think.

The only nation which really threatens US hegemony is China, and people don't trust Yuan since it's heavily manipulated, so it's not like people are going to swap to Yuan the second they officially eclipse the USA.

Its likely that the dollar's share of global reserves will drop because of current global trade developments. Many companies and countries are "friend-shoring" which means that instead of trading throughout the entire global economy for the cheapest products they are trading off for more secure and simple supply chains. This is evident through USA's new lead trading partner being Mexico, Apple moving lots of their iPhone production out of China and into India, and more. This will lead to a more decentralized global trading landscape and as a result change the allocation of central bank's reserves.

This currency would enable decentralised international trading, and would recycle national surpluses to benefit national deficits, instead of all national surpluses being reinvested into the USA. Obviously the USA’s hegemony is being used for a good purpose right now, but that’s the exception to an otherwise predatory mechanism used to pressure undeveloped nations into selling off their public services to American corporations.
