Barry Eichengreen Examines the Future of US Dollar's Global Dominance
Barry Eichengreen's book 'Money Beyond Borders' explores the history of dominant international currencies, from ancient Greek coins to the US dollar's post-World War II prominence. While China has surpassed the US economically by some measures, Eichengreen argues that no currency currently matches the dollar's global role. The book highlights how consistent design and trust have historically supported currency dominance, but also notes that such status is not permanent.
