Demise of the Dollar

A Must-Read Discussion of the Fate of the American Dollar and What It Means for You

Demise of the Dollar: From the Bailouts to the Pandemic and Beyond, 3rd Edition, is an essential and timely discussion of the demise of the American dollar and the impact it has had on the world’s economies and our own bank and retirement accounts. You’ll find nuanced and insightful descriptions of interrelated topics, increasing levels of consumer debt, a plunging national savings rate, the growing influence of China, fall of the Euro, a widening US trade deficit and structural flaws in the very foundation of the US dollar. You’ll discover how these factors have led to dramatic increases in inflation and other negative effects American investors would be wise to understand – rather, cannot survive without.

The author explains how you can best protect your bank and retirement accounts in an era of financial and political volatility, showing you how to make it more likely that your money can survive – or even grow – during increasingly frequent economic downturns and crises.

Perfect for anyone with an interest in the global and American financial systems, Demise of the Dollar belongs on the bookshelves of anyone with a financial or personal stake in the past, present, and future of the world’s economies.

“What do solid economic analysis and clear writing actually look like? They look like this book by Addison Wiggin. The Demise of the Dollar is a sterling example of jargon-free exposition. It’s not only up-to-date and clear, it’s an invaluable guide to navigating the uncharted economic waters that surround us.”
