Lyn Alden: Can The US Dollar Survive The Greatest Rebalancing of the Century?
from Macroscopic Podcast · host GoldRepublic
In this episode, Lyn Alden returns to discuss the unraveling of the current U.S.-led monetary system. We explore the structural imbalances embedded in the dollar-based reserve system, how decades of trade deficits hollowed out the American industrial base, and why the “exorbitant privilege” of dollar supremacy is now a political and economic liability. Lyn explains why the 2020s will be remembered as the realignment decade, marked not by a single event but by an accelerating series of shocks: from COVID stimulus and geopolitical conflict to central bank asset rotation and currency rebalancing. She discusses: • Why the system itself triggered its collapse • How Trump’s trade policies are “interesting but flawed” • The parallels between today and the 1985 Plaza Accord • China’s effort to create a “Goldilocks” currency • The growing role of neutral reserve assets like gold and Bitcoin • Whether bond markets are facing a structural death spiral • And what the world could look like in a multipolar monetary future 🏆 GET ONE FREE GRAM OF GOLD by opening an account at GoldRepublic : 👉 https://qrco.de/Macroscopic_1Gram 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic - Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/goldrepublic/id475643876 🟠 Buy and store physical allocated gold, silver and platinum. 👉 Open an account: https://bit.ly/38stf7p ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.
