Is the U.S. dollar’s dominance on shaky ground, or are the headlines just noise?
In this episode of Prescribing Prosperity, John and Alex Soutsos break down the history of currency, from bartering and gold standards to modern fiat systems. With humor and sharp insight, they tackle a question that’s swamping inboxes everywhere: Are BRIC nations threatening to dethrone the dollar as the world’s reserve currency?
This episode is anything but dry. Expect throwbacks to Blockbuster, riffs on dynasties, and deep dives into Bretton Woods, Nixon’s gold pivot, and why trust, not just gold, is the real foundation of any economy.
What to expect:
- How reserve currencies rise and fall
- The role of the military, liquidity, and law in global trust
- Why digital currency won’t stay neutral
- The Canadian perspective on U.S. fiscal power
- And more!
