  The first book to confront the imminent dollar crisis. Given the current global economic situation, a dollar crisis seems imminent. It is predicted that the series of financial and currency crises in recent years will soon culminate in the collapse of the U.S. dollar, facilitating a worldwide economic slump. This timely and challenging book brings together the origins of this crisis and the solutions that will help counter global imbalance. Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, The Dollar Crisis is a highly relevant guide for all markets, since the collapse of the U.S. dollar will result in global destabilization impacting capital markets everywhere. Richard Duncan (Hong Kong) has worked as a financial analyst in Asia for more than fifteen years. During his career, he has worked for leading companies such as Salomon Brothers, HSBC Securities, International Monetary Fund, and The World Bank.

  In this updated, second edition of the highly acclaimed international best seller, The Dollar Crisis: Causes, Consequences, Cures, Richard Duncan describes the flaws in the international monetary system that have destabilized the global economy and that may soon culminate in a deflation-induced worldwide economic slump.

  The Dollar Crisis is divided into five parts:

  Part One describes how the US trade deficits, which now exceed US$1 million a minute, have destabilized the global economy by creating a worldwide credit bubble.

  Part Two explains why these giant deficits cannot persist and why a US recession and a collapse in the value of the Dollar are unavoidable.

  Part Three analyzes the extraordinarily harmful impact that the US recession and the collapse of the Dollar will have on the rest of the world.

  Part Four offers original recommendations that, if implemented, would help mitigate the damage of the coming worldwide downturn and put in place the foundations for balanced and sustainable economic growth in the decades ahead.

  Part Five, which has been newly added to the second edition, describes the extraordinary evolution of this crisis since the first edition was completed in September 2002. It also considers how the Dollar Crisis is likely to unfold over the years immediately ahead, the likely policy response to the crisis, and why that response cannot succeed.

  The Dollar Standard is inherently flawed and increasingly unstable. Its collapse will be the most important economic event of the 21st Century.
