Abstract

The United States of America were in the hearth of the International Monetary System since Bretton Woods. Almost 60 years after we are close to observe a new International Monetary System led by Russia and China. The dollar is one of the two pillars the hegemony of the international power of the USA is based on. The other pillar is the industrial-military complex. When the dollar is displaced as the international exchange currency, the industrial-military complex will enter in crisis. In the next future China and Russia will control the oil market. The (oil) dollar might be substituted by the (oil) Yuan. The dollar may even lose its role as a main reserve currency as China stores enormous stocks of physical gold bars. China and Russia are a threat to Anglo-American vital interests. The world becomes with it a dangerous place.
