www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/mon... Monetizing Primacy | Karthik Sankaran
Really interesting piece, worth reading.
My one caveat is that for all the ups and downs since 1945 the global market centrality of US the dollar and Treasuries are as much a bet on stability of US politics as macroeconomic factors.
If markets view US politics as unstable then a lot comes unstuck.
"won’t happen in a hurry, but the Trump Administration’s attempts to monetize and thereby perpetuate American primacy could bring forth the macroeconomic responses that make other currencies emerge as plausible alternatives to the dollar. "
