The death of money : the coming collapse of the international monetary system / James Rickards. New York : Portfolio/Penguin, [2014] 356 pages ; 24 cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-341) and index. "The international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: war, civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of the global economy. Another collapse is rapidly approaching--and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk. The American dollar has been the global reserve currency since the end of the Second World War. If the dollar fails, the entire international monetary system will fail with it. No other currency has the deep, liquid pools of assets needed to do the job."-- Provided by publisher. 20160107. International finance. Currency crises. Money History. Financial crises. BSBPL
