The U.S. Dollar Game – How It Really Works

• Europe was wrecked by war.

The U.S. stepped in to rebuild—with cash and resources.

• Bretton Woods locked in the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

Global trade now needed dollars.

• The trade loop was born.

Other nations shipped us their goods. We sent back paper—dollars.

• But dollars don’t appear out of thin air.

The U.S. creates dollars by issuing bonds—IOUs backed by future tax revenue.

• Foreign nations take the dollars we paid them… and buy our debt.

They hand the money right back to us—by purchasing U.S. bonds.

💸 Therefore:

The U.S. issues debt to import the world’s goods, then sells that same debt back to those countries as an “investment.”
