A report by the Congressional Budget Office on the soaring US government debt has raised questions as to how long the dollar can continue to function as a stable base for the global monetary system.
"But the bigger question is how these different forcefields of power and policy fit together. How does a world function in which dollar hegemony is entrenched, security policy drives the formation of antagonistic blocs, the pattern of real economic activity is increasingly multipolar and the major issues of global public goods - climate and public health - go systematically unaddressed?"
"It is not coincidental that the dollar system and the Fed, one dimension of American world-ordering that is very much intact, is also relatively insulated from its partisan politics."
