The United States dollar has been central to the global financial system for decades. But what if that changes? We explore the history of dollar dominance from post-World War I to present-day challenges, and how the Bretton Woods system, the Nixon shock, and geopolitical forces shaped the global currency landscape. We review the benefits and costs of dollar hegemony for the U.S. and the rest of the world, as well as the internal and external threats facing the dollar system.
