6 clipsThe US dollar global hegemony is officially ending
βThe days of imperial America as the global hegemon will be drawing to a close. We're already living through the collapse of the post-war financial order where the dollar was the undisputed king. What we're seeing now is the transition to a multipolar world where the US can no longer dictate terms to every other nation on Earth.β
