Our Currency, Your Problem: The Past and Future of the Global Dollar, with Barry Eichengreen

Are predictions of the dollar's demise greatly exaggerated? Berkeley economist Barry Eichengreen, one of nation's foremost experts on the international financial system, will discuss the implications of the U.S. dollar in the age of cryptocurrency and government deregulation, and the forces propelling both.
