RE: Crash of Dollar is Imminent ~ Yale Economist Stephen Roach … (Death of the Dollar–31) with Link to Full Story
I disagree. Nobody and no country should ever have the "exorbitant privilege" to print currency at will. Particularly when that puts other nations at a disadvantage.
Well, most (if not every) countries print currency at will. It's sad but the fiat scheme isn't a democratic stuff
Yes, since Nixon ended the Bretton Woods system in 1971, all countries can print currencies at will. Even under that system, the US had "exorbitant privilege." To a great extent, it has retained that privilege.
