In Dollars We Trust? The "King of Currencies", Trump's policies, and potential contenders

from The Public Sphere: Journal of Public Policy · host The Public Sphere Journal Team

A provocative article by Barry Eichengreen questions whether the dollar can remain the "King of Currencies." But how fragile is the global medium of exchange system really, and could Trump's policies destabilize it? LSE Department of Economics Professor Ethan Ilzetzki joins Achilles Tsirgis to explore the historical rise of the dollar, what has sustained its dominance, and whether the Euro or Renminbi could emerge as credible alternatives.
