The New Economic Cold War. By Danny Esposito for Investment Contrarians | Jun 14, 2012 In a previous article, I wrote about the U.S.’s grave mistake in cutting off the emerging economies from using the U.S. dollar—the reserve currency—in transactions with Iran.
I argued that these countries not only represented a significant portion of the population of the world, but they are also the fastest growing economies in the world. For the first time in their history, this month, the second-largest economy of the world, China, and the third-largest economy of the world, Japan, began a foreign exchange system to trade in yen and yuan directly, without the use of the reserve currency.
