The United States today would certainly be the largest and 
most advanced economy to ever experience hyperinfl ation. 
But that doesn’t mean that it can’t happen. Thus far our ace 
in the hole has been the reserve status of the U.S. dollar. This 
means that the dollar will continue to be widely accepted no 
matter how bad the fundamentals get. But if we lose reserve 
status, our currency would be just as vulnerable as those that 
went down before.
We must look at these possibilities and head them off now, 
before we no longer have the ability to decide for ourselves.

The sorry outcome seen by Usonia in this tale need not be 
the fate ultimately encountered by that much larger island, 
the United States of America. Unfortunately, the longer our 
leaders pursue ever larger doses of the identical policies that 
were responsible for the fi nancial crisis in the fi rst place, the 
greater that eventuality becomes.
Although the idea of government stimuli as an antidote to 
the apparent failures of capitalism was born with Keynes, 
and nurtured with Roosevelt, it wasn’t until Alan Greenspan
George Bush, Ben Bernanke, and Barack Obama that the 
idea really came into its own. Before 2002, we had never seen 
federal defi cits of this magnitude (now exceeding $1.5 trillion 
annually), and we had never experimented so radically with 
ultra low interest rates and manipulation of credit markets.
The mistakes have been so simple, and yet we continue to 
make them.
In 2002, following the malinvestments of the dot-com era, 
when billions of dollars were poured into utterly hopeless 
companies, the economy entered what should have been a 
protracted downturn. But George Bush, then newly elected, 
didn’t want a bad economy to jeopardize his reelection. 
So he, and his advisors, dialed up the Keynesian remedies
