Money Beyond Borders
By Barry Eichengreen (Princeton University Press)
David Lubin says: ‘A very entertaining delve into the history of global currencies which correctly highlights the role that military power plays in determining which country gets to print the top currency. Bottom line: don’t hold your breath waiting for the end of dollar dominance, since credible alternatives to the greenback are few.‘
