De-dollarizing fantasyland
14 Nov, 2024
Intro LO: Late October, I received an interesting and intriguing Bloomberg email newsletter, entitled De-dollarizing fantasyland. That Bloomberg New Economy article is stated below. I suppose this article is - ultimately - about trust, distrust and mistrust. The dollar may not be liked (eg, by BRICS countries). However, the US$ is trusted despite the 1971 comment by...

De enige keer dat ik wel ging kijken, schrok ik van een erg onduidelijk maar heftig gevoel. Dit is het substitutie dilemma: je zou het misschien wel willen, maar het lijkt niet te kunnen, of niet te mogen. Af en toe...
