Will the former rich countries really accept a completely changed world economy, and a shift of power away from where it has been the last 50 to 100 to 150 years, back to Asia?

Is the United States position as the world s dominant superpower at risk if the dollar loses its super currency status? Maybe not, but Americans will certainly find global hegemony a lot more expensive if the dollar falls off its perch.

CAMBRIDGE Is the United States position as the world s dominant superpower at risk if the dollar loses its super currency status? Maybe not, but Americans will certainly find global hegemony a lot more expensive if the dollar falls off its perch.

First, I have been to every Summer Olympics since 1984 and the USA has never been so dominant.

Latest news. Some Bullies they beat a champion.

With the dollar s hegemony unlikely to be seriously undermined by market forces, at least in the short and medium term, the only way to bring about a major reduction in its role as a reserve currency is by international agreement. The Chinese proposal falls into this category.

Living the Saudi Dream

It is simply this The US should not use its immense military and economic power to try to stay top dog on the global block in perpetuity. Rather, we should be using that power to create a world in which we will be comfortable living when we are no longer top dog on the global block.

American Hegemony or American Primacy?

And they actually had to end up shutting down the leader board because while it was effective, it was so powerful that it stopped sourcing the best stories and started having people work to maintain their leadership.

Iran s hegemonic ambitions have been unleashed, and the country has been helped to a strategic position that it could never have reached on its own.

One possibility is a gradual, market determined erosion of the dollar as a reserve currency in favor of the euro. But, while the euro s international role especially its use in financial markets has increased since its inception, it is hard to envisage it overtaking the dollar as the dominant reserve currency in the foreseeable future.

Unless the US gets its act together soon, it may find the value of its super currency franchise much diminished. American voters, who are famously loathe to increase taxes, might start thinking a lot harder about the real economic costs of their country s superpower status.

I don't want to take your place. I want you to know that.

Hans Rosling was a young guest student in India when he first realized that Asia had all the capacities to reclaim its place as the world's dominant economic force. At TEDIndia, he graphs global economic growth since 1858 and predicts the exact date that India and China will outstrip the US.

Aren't you being rather arbitrary?

American financial supremacy in the twenty first century resembles Britain s position in world finance a century ago.

Some observers conflate the concept with imperialism but the US is clear evidence that a hegemon does not have to have a formal empire. Others define hegemony as the ability to set the rules of the international system but precisely how much influence over this process a hegemon must have, relative to other powers, remains unclear.

This is rising. Comfort stays whole.
