Making Sense of Dollar Hardcover - 2009
by Marc Chandler
Chandler explores the many factors--trade deficits, the dollar's role in the world, globalization, and capitalism--that affect the dollar and the U.S. economy, and leads readers to the inescapable conclusion that both are much stronger than many people suppose.
From the rear cover
IS THE DOLLAR LOSING ITS LUSTER AS A WORLD CURRENCY?
Has the credit crisis forever tainted the U.S. dollar? Will the euro or the yuan replace the U.S. dollar as the world's currency? Marc Chandler argues convincingly that many people are wrongly pessimistic about both the dollar and the U.S. economy. The United States remains a vibrant and innovative country despite the severe credit crisis.
In Making Sense of the Dollar, Chandler acknowledges the existence of trade deficits while advising against sacrificing growth and development. Investors and policy makers need to think about money and trade in a different way. He casts a critical eye at ten myths that contribute to our misperceptions:
- Trade deficits reflect a lack of U.S. competitiveness
- There is only one type of capitalism
- Globalization destroyed American industry
- The era of the dollar as the global currency is ending
- A weak dollar boosts exports and drives stock markets
These assumptions and others are debunked by Chandler. His inescapable conclusion is that both the dollar and the U.S. economy are much stronger than many people suppose, even in the face of market turmoil and economic displacement. The new rules that emerge from the credit crisis will undoubtedly create new incentives and disincentives, which, in turn, could influence the contours of U.S. strategy for economic expansion.
