For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works..

The explanation dat has been given by Pro Wolff on the De-Dollarization is to be taken very seriously. What history has taught us about the rise and fall of Empires are not ' fairy tale' stories. During their decline there were huge changes dat affected those who lived under the Empire's umbrella.The U.S will not disappear but has to come to terms with the universal changes dat happens to all Empires.It is somewhat managing it's decline as other countries globally have taken another approach.In fact there is no exceptionality on this matter of 'decline'.

The sad thing is most Americans haven't a clue about this subject. I've taught college level economics and found a lot of my students knew nothing about compound interest and how to use it for loans, or that the USD was not backed by gold. And I believe both lacks are pretty typical in this country. As the dollar declines the US economy will struggle more and while citizens will (and for other reasons do) know that something is wrong, they will not know why. That is dangerous as it gives an opening for demagogues, such as we have recently had in this country. And given America's recent history I sincerely doubt that the US will gracefully accept replacing the dollar with a basket of currencies. Dying empires do not always go quietly.

Well said. You got my respect. If you can't win em join em.

Since 1866, when the 14th Amendment was adopted, the U.S. government has defaulted on its debt obligations not once, not twice but at least three times. The most notable of these defaults occurred in 1933, when President Franklin Roosevelt took the U.S. off the gold standard. During the Great Depression, the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court agreed to wipe out around 40 percent of U.S. private and public debt. The U.S. government did so by simply refusing to redeem its gold bonds into gold coins. Instead, the government repaid its gold bond obligations with depreciated currency. A more recent example of the U.S. government reneging on its debt commitments occurred in August 1971, when President Nixon “temporarily” closed the U.S. gold window as part of his effort to regain control over inflation. By closing the gold window, the U.S. government abrogated a financial commitment it had made to the rest of the world at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 that set up the post-war monetary system. At Bretton Woods, the United States had promised to redeem all U.S. dollars held for $35 dollars an ounce. When Nixon refused to let foreign central banks turn in their dollars for gold, he effectively “defaulted” on the United States’s long-standing obligations to make the dollar as good as gold. A more recent, albeit lesser, example of the U.S. government reneging on its debt commitments occurred in 1968, when the government refused to honor its explicit promise to redeem its silver certificate paper dollars for silver dollars. When an embarrassingly large number of bearers of these certificates demanded the promised silver dollars, the U.S. government simply decided not to pay. With the U.S. government’s far from unblemished credit record, domestic and especially foreign investors can be forgiven for entertaining at least some doubt about the protection afforded to them by the U.S. Constitution. This perhaps explains why in 2011, at the time of the last major U.S. debt ceiling showdown, U.S. and global financial markets crumbled as U.S. politicians played a game of chicken in approving an increase in the debt ceiling. It also might explain why the Standard and Poor’s credit agency chose to strip the U.S. government of its coveted AAA rating, thereby raising the government’s borrowing costs. thehill.com/opinion/finance/3885293-actually-the-us-can-default-on-its-debt/ thehill.com/opinion/finance/3999846-theres-a-debt-limit-escape-clause-that-doesnt-include-the-14th-amendment/

The only economic I like to listen to

A footlong sandwich (NOT a combo) costs $10+ at Subway. 10 years ago it was $5 for a footlong. 🤔

The real question coming out of Professor Wolff's analysis is whether it is possible for the U.S. government to balance the federal budget and pay down the debt. To be sure, federal spending is far higher than it ought to be. The CBS program 60 Minutes just yesterday (5/21/2023) offered some insight into how the government is grossly overcharged for military goods. The U.S. spends move on "defense" of its empire than almost all other countries combined. Social welfare spending is as high as it is because our system of laws and taxation guarantees we cannot achieve sustained full employment without inflation. Here, the solution is to move in the direction of taxing rents much higher and earned incomes, tangible capital goods and exchanges much lower. Economists we hear in the media (including Professor Wolff) rarely talk about the taxation of rents. Perhaps this is because the concept of rent in economics is very different from what most people understand by the term. Political economists going back to the 17th century used the term "rent" to identify that portion of wealth produced that was unearned by individuals because it came from both natural and government-created advantage. Thus, even Adam Smith agreed that rents were particularly appropriate to tax and use the revenue to pay for public goods and services.

Prof. Wolff. Can you advise what to do to secure our savings. Would it be better to hold real estate than holding cash USD?

The inflation and implosion of a a nation currency is not something to wish for, except in the case of the US$. Judging from this particular currency's historical and 'exceptional' utilization, and it's de facto stranglehold on the rest of the global economy, makes for a situation the rest of the world's economy could only _hope_ for . . . .

Get use to rapid inflation at times , higher cost for imports. Not good

Is the USA able to pay back the debts and the interest? What you think about that Prof. Wolff?

No, it’s impossible

Economist Mark Blythe of the Watson Institute at Brown University makes a cogent argument for why the global dollar system will not be changing substantially in the near term.

Competition is a good thing.

The United States behaves like a tyrant towards the other nations of the world by its laws of extraterritoriality and by its wars. How do you want private or national economic entities to have confidence in the dollar? The exacerbated warmongering of recent years will scare away holders of American debt and it is natural for an investor to seek a debt of confidence.

“A nation that likes to impose its own will on other nations; a nation that likes it at every turn to destroy other nations; a political entity that expands everywhere, dominates people everywhere, and flaunts its strength everywhere, there will eventually be a day of exhaustion. Perhaps this is more the law of history! In this way, whether it is history, reality, or logic, the United States seems to be "advancing bravely" toward the goal of doomsday.”

This is the only side of America that you see. America has educated many people around the world in her reputable educational institutions. American companies have lent China a leg up in her growth technologically. You can't underestimate the power that America will still wield. It isn't as if America has no partners!!

There is only one real currency in the world since last 3000 years . Gold .

Short and long term should be stated. Yes, dedollarization is happening now... But it has little to no effect now *for most

The present Unipolar World of 77 years will evolve into a Multipolar World hopefully without turmoil for the rest of the world. The Hegemonic US in general must or be forced to relearn how to live within its means and mind its own business in the world

@@yu-jd5jg Sure, but the fundamental answer is still not answered. When will the effect take place for most, if it happens? The US hegemony is already declining etc...but that isn't the question precisely.

This is a VERY MUCH NEEDED video. I hadn't thought to ask the question, but am fascinated by the answer. I will also absolutely look at the "decline-of-dollar" videos. Wonderful, thank you!!

dedollarization talk seems to resurface every few years, however it seems unlikely to happen on a large scale due to so much world trade relying on eurodollar

The US government and the federal reserve bank did so much to cause the dollar to fall that I think they shorted it in the financial markets. The must intend to buy it back on the bottom. I would love to see a currency analyst address this idea.

It’s like unavoidable.

People don't understand what is currency and money.

Mr. Wolff ! You are looking better after Covid now that you seem to have a good haircut. And the clean shirts, very nice improvements help carry your always insightful messages. Thanks to you for your great studies and efforts.

China is heavily influencing its currency to use in neighboring countries. One of the ways may be China partnering with Burmese officials to use Chinese currency when importing to get licensing/ import permits quicker in Burma.

Some countries pays people's life. But some will get richer more and more))

Globalization has expanded trade between all countries in the world. Convenience, security and availability of flexible financial instruments have kept the dollar in the middle of global transactions between countries in trade that doesn't involve the US. The dollar has served the world well as a reserve currency. Replacing it at this point would be like replacing an iphone with a pager. You could do it, but it won't be nearly as easy to use. litical than economic. The current push to de-dollarize is more political than economic. The big push lately has been lead by Saudi Arabia. The reason for that is that while nobody cared that the US sanctioned countries like Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, they cared a lot when the US sanctioned Russia. But, the reason for that is that the billionaires around the world, like the Saudis, freaked when the US froze the assets of the billionaire Russian oligarchs. This wasn't some poor countries getting frozen, who cares about them? This was about billionaires getting, gulp, frozen. It's going to be really hard to de-dollarize. Over the years, as the world's reserve currency, there have been a ton of really nice functionality and financial instruments and features built into the use of the dollar and the ability to trade and borrow with these instruments. As mentioned above, it would be replacing an iphone with a pager. It's going to be interesting to see whether, say, a South African furniture manufacturer trying to sell his wares abroad is going to run to abandon using the dollar, which is easy-peasy right now, for the clunky mess, at least in the near term of the next several years, that won't work nearly as well. The South African government may force him to move off the dollar, but it's hard to see him doing it willingly. Look at the Euro, it can barely hold together even though it is used by countries proximate to each other with relative homogenous financial systems. A global currency that would tie together the disparate economies of the global south would be exponentially harder to maintain. China RMB/Yuan as a reserve currency seems like a non-starter for many reasons. So what replaces the dollar? Nothing jumps out at you other than governments forcing their citizens to use something much less attractive to the people who are actually doing the trading.

Since the epidemic, our society has assets their spending as basic needs go up. More unnecessary businesses will go out of business which is happening now. The bible is the best place to learn how this ends.

If the working-class American right-wingers really want to see what their future holds, they should be looking at right-wing Nazi Germany and the right-wing Confederate South. The wealthy-class right-wing enslavers are going to sneak out the back door, leaving the working-class right-wing enablers holding the metaphorical bag. I just hope I live long enough to see it. F*kc the right-wingers F*kc the wealthy-class right-wingers who control BOTH/ALL of America's right-wing political parties which debase the working-class at every turn. And f*kc the working-class right-wingers who vote against their own interests by supporting America's right-wing political parties. F*kc the right-wing Repubocrats and the right-wing Demlicans.

Very unclear to me who will provide the safety of world trade without US naval dominance. The US, being mainly a self-sufficient nation, that can survive and thrive without relying on rogue, in a competitive nature countries, has the luxury of picking and choosing their trading partners in the future. I put my allegiance on a system that has proved to lift countries out of poverty, rather than a conglomerate of dictators bullying their neighbors for control.

No more sanctions no more war no more coups dr wolf u forgot to mention..

going forward the USA has to finance its own debt ....when you are running 2 trillion a year deficits ,this is a problem and all options to address the problem are bad ..higher taxes more borrowing ,,austerity, program cuts

But ...""small pinching" is going to hurt the little guy "hugely." No?
