In this Money Talks: How does America assert its power globally? The short answer is money. For the long answer, <a href="https://www.axios.com/authors/fsalmon">Felix Salmon</a> calls in authors <a href="https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/edward-fishman/">Edward Fishman </a>(<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/726149/chokepoints-by-edward-fishman/">Chokepoints</a>) and <a href="https://salehamohsin.com/">Saleha Mohsin</a> (<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/705364/paper-soldiers-by-saleha-mohsin/">Paper Soldiers</a>) who both recently published books on the subject. They’ll discuss how the US dollar managed to become the world’s reserve asset, the ways it’s been weaponized in the past, and what that global status means under an “America First” president. This episode is member-exclusive.
