This book is the incantations of the Kremlin would-be economists who have been predicting the imminent “death of the dollar” for 20 years now. There is no politicking, no propaganda, no cheap populism here - only real economics and sober calculation based on the “theory of complexity ", which is used to predict earthquakes and social cataclysms. This is a financial investigation by one of the leading American analysts, who calculates not just the agony of the American currency, but the collapse of the entire monetary system of the West. Living in the era of US financial dominance and the omnipotence of the dollar, we have forgotten that a third of a century ago, Wall Street was already teetering on the brink - inflation in the United States was off the charts at 13%, gold was rapidly rising in price, but then the American economy was lucky: it was saved by the collapse of the USSR. However, now the postponed crisis has returned with renewed vigor, and the West no longer has any margin of safety, no reserves, no advantages. How soon will the dollar collapse under the weight of unsustainable debts and Washington’s political adventures? Why is this collapse “seeming increasingly inevitable” as markets descend into “financial war”? Why is the American Federal Reserve “stimulating disaster”? And who will become the dollar gravedigger?
