In this episode, I dive deep into the rise and enduring dominance of the U.S. dollar in the global economy.

I walk you through its journey—from Bretton Woods to the creation of the petrodollar system—and explain how the dollar became the backbone of international trade and a powerful tool for economic sanctions.

But things are shifting. Countries around the world are actively looking for alternatives to the dollar, and I explore what that means for the future of our financial influence.

Whether you’re new to global economics or just want a better understanding of how money moves the world, this episode breaks down the complexities of the “dollar empire” in a way that’s clear, thought-provoking, and timely.
