December 1, 2025, Video: "Is the US dollar’s global reign under threat? Financial Sense's Jim Puplava speaks with Harvard economist and former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff about his latest book, Our Dollar, Your Problem, where he unpacks the fragile future of the world’s reserve currency. Rogoff explores how historical luck, America’s military power, and rivals’ missteps cemented dollar dominance, but warns that soaring US debt, political polarization, and the rise of China’s yuan are eroding its supremacy. He discusses the growing impact of cryptocurrencies, the consequences of weaponizing the dollar, and the urgent need for fiscal discipline and rule of law to maintain US financial leadership in an increasingly multipolar world."
