Has the greenback really lost its preeminent place in the world?
Not according to currency expert Marc Chandler, who explains why so
many are–wrongly–pessimistic about both the dollar and
the U.S. economy.
Making Sense of the Dollar explores the many
factors–trade deficits, the dollar’s role in the world,
globalization, capitalism, and more–that affect the dollar
and the U.S. economy and lead to the inescapable conclusion that
both are much stronger than many people suppose.
Marc Chandler has been covering the global capital markets for
twenty years as a foreign exchange strategist for several Wall
Street firms. He is one of the most widely respected and quoted
currency experts today.
