💡Get a free review with Wealthion’s trusted financial advisors at https://bit.ly/4tHZurkIs America’s global edge really fading — or is the dollar still too dominant to dethrone? Steve Hanke joins Maggie Lake to explain why he doesn’t buy the idea that American exceptionalism is over, even as China chips away at U.S. influence, gold buying rises, and investors question the future of dollar dominance. Hanke argues the real strength of America isn’t just politics or military power — it’s the depth of U.S. capital markets and the global demand for dollar-based assets. But the risks are building at the margins.
