King Dollar: The Past and Future of the World's Dominant Currency by Paul Blustein, published March 2025.

Paul Blustein, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, has spent much of his career reporting for The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. 

His work has won several prizes, including business journalism's most prestigious, The Gerald Loeb Award.  His reporting and research have taken him to more than 50 countries on six continents.

"Few people write about international economic issues more clearly and entertainingly than Paul Blustein.  In King Dollar he applies those skills to dismantling the ever-recurring arguments that the status of the dollar as the world's preeminent currency is under threat" - Liaquat Ahamed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lords of Finance.

"A must read for anyone worried about the future of the dollar in a world split by geopolitical rivalries and rapid innovations in currencies and payments systems." -- Kristin Forbes, professor, MIT Sloan School of Management.
