The Dollar Trap: Currency Power and Economic Vulnerability


Listen Later

The US dollar is more than a currency—it is a global force. In this episode, we explore the power of the dollar and how its strength or weakness affects inflation, debt, trade, migration, and investment decisions across the world.

We break down why many African economies remain dollar-dependent, how dollar scarcity fuels exchange-rate pressure, rising import costs, and capital flight, and why remittances, foreign loans, and global trade are heavily tied to the greenback.

Key discussions include:

  • Why the dollar dominates global trade and finance
  • How dollar strength affects African currencies and living costs
  • The link between dollar scarcity, inflation, and debt
  • The role of remittances and foreign investment
  • De-dollarization efforts and whether alternatives can succeed
  • What individuals, businesses, and governments should know

This episode delivers practical insight into one of the most influential forces in the global economy—and why understanding the dollar is essential for navigating today’s financial landscape.
