On This Page
Description
Examines the green-back's history, allure, and unique role as a catalyst for globalization, and how the American buck became so almighty that $ became perhaps the most powerful symbol on earth. But will the buck be eclipsed by the euro or even China's renminbi? Should Americans worry when the value of the mighty U.S. dollar sinks to par with the Canadian "loonie"?--From publisher's description.Tags

An interesting book but it could have been 100 pages shorter. He takes a long time to get to the point, like so many authors do these days. It would be interesting to see an updated version of the book.
