The dollar is no longer god (and the BRICS know it)

There was a time when the Federal Reserve sneezed and “the rest of the world caught pneumonia.”  That empire of the greenback is crumbling before our eyes (very slowly), not because of an international communist plot, but because of Washington’s punitive arrogance.

The United States wielded its currency as a military cudgel, blocking countries left and right. The logical reaction? The Global South, through the BRICS, built its own system.

Today, more than 30% of trade among emerging powers is conducted in local currencies or yuan.

Western hawks are annoyed, but the financial monopoly is coming to an end. A multipolar world is irreversible. For Latin America, de-dollarization is not just a macroeconomic strategy; it is a cry of independence against a hegemony that has been charging us a toll for breathing for two centuries.
