In recent years, however, the dollar's preponderant position in world markets has come under challenge. The dollar has been more volatile than ever against foreign currencies, and various nations have switched to non-dollar instruments in their transactions. China and the Arab Gulf states continue to hold massive amounts of U.S. government obligations, in effect subsidizing U.S. current account deficits, and those holdings are a point of potential vulnerability for American policy. What is the future of the U.S. dollar as an international currency? Will predictions of its demise end up just as inaccurate as those that have accompanied major international financial crises since the early 1970's? Analysts disagree, often profoundly, in their answers to these questions. In The Future of the Dollar, leading scholars of dollar's international role bring multidisciplinary perspectives and a range of contrasting predictions to the question of the dollar's future. This timely book provides readers with a clear sense of why such disagreements exist and it outlines a variety of future scenarios and the possible political implications for the United States and the world. 410 0$aCornell studies in money. 410 0$aCornell paperbacks. 606 $aDollar, American 606 $aMonetary policy$zUnited States 606 $aMonetary policy 606 $aForeign exchange 606 $aCurrency question 606 $aInternational finance 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDollar, American. 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aMonetary policy. 615 0$aForeign exchange. 615 0$aCurrency question. 615 0$aInternational finance. 676 $a332.4/973 701 $aHelleiner$b Eric$f1963-$0721088 701 $aKirshner$b Jonathan$0614158 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460204803321 996 $aThe future of the dollar$92441600 997 $aUNINA
