[@michaeldugger6964]

Since 1866, when the 14th Amendment was adopted, the U.S. government has defaulted on its debt obligations not once, not twice but at least three times. The most notable of these defaults occurred in 1933, when President Franklin Roosevelt took the U.S. off the gold standard. During the Great Depression, the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court agreed to wipe out around 40 percent of U.S. private and public debt. The U.S. government did so by simply refusing to redeem its gold bonds into gold coins. Instead, the government repaid its gold bond obligations with depreciated currency. A more recent example of the U.S. government reneging on its debt commitments occurred in August 1971, when President Nixon “temporarily” closed the U.S. gold window as part of his effort to regain control over inflation. By closing the gold window, the U.S. government abrogated a financial commitment it had made to the rest of the world at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 that set up the post-war monetary system. At Bretton Woods, the United States had promised to redeem all U.S. dollars held for $35 dollars an ounce. When Nixon refused to let foreign central banks turn in their dollars for gold, he effectively “defaulted” on the United States’s long-standing obligations to make the dollar as good as gold. A more recent, albeit lesser, example of the U.S. government reneging on its debt commitments occurred in 1968, when the government refused to honor its explicit promise to redeem its silver certificate paper dollars for silver dollars. When an embarrassingly large number of bearers of these certificates demanded the promised silver dollars, the U.S. government simply decided not to pay. With the U.S. government’s far from unblemished credit record, domestic and especially foreign investors can be forgiven for entertaining at least some doubt about the protection afforded to them by the U.S. Constitution. This perhaps explains why in 2011, at the time of the last major U.S. debt ceiling showdown, U.S. and global financial markets crumbled as U.S. politicians played a game of chicken in approving an increase in the debt ceiling. It also might explain why the Standard and Poor’s credit agency chose to strip the U.S. government of its coveted AAA rating, thereby raising the government’s borrowing costs. thehill.com/opinion/finance/3885293-actually-the-us-can-default-on-its-debt/ thehill.com/opinion/finance/3999846-theres-a-debt-limit-escape-clause-that-doesnt-include-the-14th-amendment/

The sad thing is most Americans haven't a clue about this subject. I've taught college level economics and found a lot of my students knew nothing about compound interest and how to use it for loans, or that the USD was not backed by gold. And I believe both lacks are pretty typical in this country. As the dollar declines the US economy will struggle more and while citizens will (and for other reasons do) know that something is wrong, they will not know why. That is dangerous as it gives an opening for demagogues, such as we have recently had in this country. And given America's recent history I sincerely doubt that the US will gracefully accept replacing the dollar with a basket of currencies. Dying empires do not always go quietly.

I think it's flawed to consider de-dollarization in isolation without also considering the end of globalization and the end of (for the USA) of access to cheap labor, commodities and products from overseas. Over the past decades of Globalization, America has lost a lot of it's manufacturing capacity to China, India & Asia and as a result is not self sufficient in a huge range of essential products. Thus the USA will need to rebuild it's manufacturing to try achieve economic independent again - but this will take generations to reeducate it's populations with a period of low income poverty for the majority in this interim. During these coming decades, the dollar will simply just vanish as a world reserve currency - just be a national currency (Backed by gold for international trading).

[@peterazlac1739]

No, China is supporting the Bank of International Settlement (BIS) establishment of a global CBDC based on a basket of cbdcs of the 98+ countries also interested in doing the same plus other assets. the BRICS cbds will be one of these but since it will represent countries with over 50% of global GDP its weighting will be high and its influence at BIS accordingly higher than that of the US or other G7 members. Both the IMF and World Bank are supporting BIS but want their own cbdcs involved but the BRICS group are rejecting this favoring their own alternatives with loans based on the BTICS cbdc via China's development bank. We can expect this to be implemented by 2027 which is the intended launch date for the EUs cbdc so you short time is short indeed before the dollar is restricted to trade with G7 countries or only an internal currency for the US.

[@MrManny075]

They don't need to be a basket of currencies, every country should use its own digital currency and trade that way example the Chinese should buy the Saudi's currency and use it to buy oil and the Saudis buy Chinese currency to pay for the Chinese goods, Both central Banks do the exchange digitally.

Hello Prof Wolff: Would you please define economic rent for your viewers. Is it synonymous with price markup?

[@aleethelfa9880]

The explanation dat has been given by Pro Wolff on the De-Dollarization is to be taken very seriously. What history has taught us about the rise and fall of Empires are not ' fairy tale' stories. During their decline there were huge changes dat affected those who lived under the Empire's umbrella.The U.S will not disappear but has to come to terms with the universal changes dat happens to all Empires.It is somewhat managing it's decline as other countries globally have taken another approach.In fact there is no exceptionality on this matter of 'decline'.

[@nthperson]

The real question coming out of Professor Wolff's analysis is whether it is possible for the U.S. government to balance the federal budget and pay down the debt. To be sure, federal spending is far higher than it ought to be. The CBS program 60 Minutes just yesterday (5/21/2023) offered some insight into how the government is grossly overcharged for military goods. The U.S. spends move on "defense" of its empire than almost all other countries combined. Social welfare spending is as high as it is because our system of laws and taxation guarantees we cannot achieve sustained full employment without inflation. Here, the solution is to move in the direction of taxing rents much higher and earned incomes, tangible capital goods and exchanges much lower. Economists we hear in the media (including Professor Wolff) rarely talk about the taxation of rents. Perhaps this is because the concept of rent in economics is very different from what most people understand by the term. Political economists going back to the 17th century used the term "rent" to identify that portion of wealth produced that was unearned by individuals because it came from both natural and government-created advantage. Thus, even Adam Smith agreed that rents were particularly appropriate to tax and use the revenue to pay for public goods and services.

Short and long term should be stated. Yes, dedollarization is happening now... But it has little to no effect now *for most

[@yu-jd5jg]

The present Unipolar World of 77 years will evolve into a Multipolar World hopefully without turmoil for the rest of the world. The Hegemonic US in general must or be forced to relearn how to live within its means and mind its own business in the world

[@rualablhor]

@@yu-jd5jg Sure, but the fundamental answer is still not answered. When will the effect take place for most, if it happens? The US hegemony is already declining etc...but that isn't the question precisely.

Get use to rapid inflation at times , higher cost for imports. Not good

[@clarestucki5151]

Dedolarization simply reflects the fact that the rest of the world has recovered from the devastation of WWII, and has managed to advance and modernize to a level of relative economic equality, all of which is totally good and totally beneficial for the whole world.

Is the USA able to pay back the debts and the interest? What you think about that Prof. Wolff?

[@lauralee2641]

No, it’s impossible

[@addisumzewdie]

I hope 'Dedolarization will not be an end in itself;and the other issue that we need to deal with is 'Are we going to replace USD with the currency of China or Russia...?EURO?or are we planning to introduce special global currency?or flexible trade deal among countries?or ...?

Mr. Wolff ! You are looking better after Covid now that you seem to have a good haircut. And the clean shirts, very nice improvements help carry your always insightful messages. Thanks to you for your great studies and efforts.

The inflation and implosion of a a nation currency is not something to wish for, except in the case of the US$. Judging from this particular currency's historical and 'exceptional' utilization, and it's de facto stranglehold on the rest of the global economy, makes for a situation the rest of the world's economy could only _hope_ for . . . .

dedollarization talk seems to resurface every few years, however it seems unlikely to happen on a large scale due to so much world trade relying on eurodollar

[@realcomedyperrycoalmon9407]

The US government and the federal reserve bank did so much to cause the dollar to fall that I think they shorted it in the financial markets. The must intend to buy it back on the bottom. I would love to see a currency analyst address this idea.

If the dollar declines in its value, does that mean that the exchange rate will automatically be weaker compared to it is now. Can the FED distroy dollars to de-expand it to increase demand?

[@markjakker]

What happens after de-dollarisation? Not a whole lot because political power grows from the barrel of a gun, not finances. During WW2 and the 2008 crisis, Western Europe still maintained colonial lands. A Western power just funded another coup in South America to steal Bolivian lithium. A globally recognized change of status quo will bring the effects of de-dollarisation not de-dollarisation itself

[@BBBarua]

China is heavily influencing its currency to use in neighboring countries. One of the ways may be China partnering with Burmese officials to use Chinese currency when importing to get licensing/ import permits quicker in Burma.

Very unclear to me who will provide the safety of world trade without US naval dominance. The US, being mainly a self-sufficient nation, that can survive and thrive without relying on rogue, in a competitive nature countries, has the luxury of picking and choosing their trading partners in the future. I put my allegiance on a system that has proved to lift countries out of poverty, rather than a conglomerate of dictators bullying their neighbors for control.

[@robertcox14]

I would have liked to see some numbers and charts that would state the case of what is occurring in the global monetary system, for instance what amount has China got in "American Dollars," supposedly being "US T-Bills"? And what China is cashing in on those reserves of US Assets, numbers going down, I assume. As well as other countries, Richard who are angry over USA using "financial sanctions" as warfare. The aggressive situation should be spelled out, like USA using a "global Funds Transfer System," SWIFT, which was/is really stupid to ban Russia from, USA destroying its own credibility with reckless mania. Richard, USA has become a "global pariah" and the refugees are coming to kill USA for being such an imperial enemy of "The Rest Of The Planet"! God save the souls of Americans under an "evil cabal," attacking human civilization!
