 [A-List] US imperialism: dollar hegemony
Dollar hegemony allowed the United States to levy a tax on the rest of the world for using the dollar, a fiat currency, as the reserve currency for world trade.
Dollar hegemony forces the central banks of US trading partners to hold their dollar trade surplus in US bonds and assets, if they want protection from speculative attacks on their currencies.
This has been sustained by dollar hegemony in which the role of the dollar as the reserve currency for trade keeps the trade surplus in dollars earned by countries exporting to the US as captured investment or loans in the dollar economy.
