Paul Craig Roberts: The Dollar’s Dark Future (Video)
Earlier this month, Paul Craig Roberts was interviewed by Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog about the perils faced by the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Roberts is a former Assistant Treasury Secretary and believes it is likely that there will be a major dollar crisis sooner than later. Roberts talks about the strong global demand for physical gold that continues even while international demand for US dollars shrinks. Like Peter Schiff, Roberts believes that the Fed has no safe way to end its monetary stimulus without triggering a major crisis and explains his position in depth in this extended interview.
In the last few months, both China and Japan have sold off some Treasuries, some $40 billion between them. This is not a huge sum, but it does show that they’re ceasing to accumulate them. And there’s also been reports that China is accumulating very large quantities of gold. So this does show that the dollar may have a limited life as the supreme currency.”
