Episode Description:
For over a century, the U.S. dollar has ruled the world — the symbol of power, stability, and trust. It’s been the backbone of the global economy, the currency every nation looked to.
But here’s what people forget — that dominance wasn’t random. It was engineered.
After World War II, in 1944, the world gathered at Bretton Woods. And they made a decision that changed history — to tie the global economy to the U.S. dollar, because our dollar was backed by gold.
But when we abandoned the gold standard — we went from the gold standard to the dollar standard. And that worked… for a while. But now, we’re watching the end of that era unfold in real time.
