Barron's : "End of the Dollar ..."

Barron's recently reported:

"When the monetary history...is written decades from now...2010 could be a watershed marking the beginning of the end of the dollar-based, Western-centric monetary system."

"The demand for dollars from the rest of the world has been of inestimable benefit to the U.S. economy. It quite simply allows Americans to consume more than they produce and save less than they invest; in other words, to live beyond our means."
