The context for America’s economic showdown with China is a monetary system that worked once but no longer does

“THERE IS no longer any need for the United States to compete with one hand tied behind her back,” Richard Nixon, then America’s president, told his countrymen in August 1971. With that speech, he heralded the end of the postwar economic order, suspending the convertibility of the dollar into gold and putting up tariffs on imports. The survival of today’s order, which emerged from the chaos that followed, now looks increasingly in doubt.

The present system, often described as Bretton Woods II, slowly emerged from the ashes of the postwar order. The dollar’s dominance did not end. Much of the world’s commerce trades in greenbacks. Changes in America’s economic policy still echo around the world. A stronger dollar depresses global trade, research suggests, while tighter American monetary policy straitens global financial conditions.

All things need a reset. Clears up the minutia,

Of course. This was predicted when Bretton Woods was forced down everyone's throats. False support and manipulation of the dollar will not work for much longer.

Of course it is when the second biggest economy is communism and it is outpacing all free market economies combined.

These cycles always happen every 10 to 15 years. We will survive

No confundas la parte con el todo....el dólar es el que se derrumba.

Key to fixing it is understanding what has changed and where are we heading. Calls for a Green or sustainable economy is where we need to go. Without understanding how the financial system needs to be modernized we risk blocking the move to a prosperous sustainable economy.
