How to Restore Confidence in the U.S. Dollar—and Why It's Faltering in the First Place
Author: Steve H. Hanke and Matt Sekerke
Outlet: Fortune
Date: April 16, 2025
Hanke and co-author Matt Sekerke examine why investors around the world increasingly fear the United States is no longer a safe haven for capital, a shift reflected in growing interest in alternatives like gold and cryptocurrency amid tariff-driven uncertainty. The authors lay out what would be required to restore global confidence in the dollar, arguing that credible, consistent policy, rather than further tariff escalation, is essential to preserving the dollar's standing.
