Hello and welcome to Brokonomics now in many times through this series I've made reference to something called the dollar but I've not really gone into any much detail on that

However, I've got just the man for doing that

Justin. Thank you for coming on Brokonomics.

Hi Dan, thanks for having me on.

Yeah, it's good to be here.

Yeah, looking forward to our chat, a lot to unpacks.

Excellent.

And you've been writing on the dollar for a while now. Where can people find your writings?

Yes, most of my writing is on sub-stack. Yeah, so I write there quite a lot.

So yeah, I've got a lot of articles on political economy, history,

economics a lot of things really so that's where all my work on the dollar

is and if you want to refer back to anything in this conversation

that would be the best place.

Excellent and your Twitter handle is the the no mad is it?

Yes that's right my daily frustrations with modernity can be found there. Obviously I promote my sub-sac

articles too and yeah that's right. yeah. Excellent.

So to kick us off on the dollar,

perhaps I can read one of the opening paragraphs

to sort of just gives a sense for going into it.

Sure.

You're right, the United States is the dominant superpower in the world today.

A position is held since the end of World War II.
