About this product
Product Information
In 1995, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin re-defined the next thirty years of currency policy with the mantra, 'A strong dollar is in America's interest.' That mantra held, ushering in exceptional prosperity and cheap foreign goods, but the strong dollar policy also played a role in the devastating hollowing out of America's manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, abroad, the United States increasingly turned to the dollar as a weapon of war. In Paper Soldiers, Saleha Mohsin reveals how the Treasury Department has shaped U.S. policy at home and overseas by wielding the American dollar as a weapon - and what that means in a new age of crisis. For decades, America has preferred its currency superpower - strong, the basis of a 'strong dollar' policy that attracted foreign investors and pleased consumers. Drawing on Mohsin's unparalleled access to current and former Treasury officials like Robert Rubin, Steven Mnuchin, and Janet Yellen, Paper Soldiers traces that policy's intended and unintended consequences, including the rise of populist sentiment and trade war with China - culminating in an unprecedented attack on the dollar's pristine status during the Trump presidency - and connects the dollar's weaponization from 9/11 to the deployment of crippling financial sanctions against Russia. Ultimately, Mohsin argues that, untethered from many of the economic assumptions of the last generation, the power and influence of the American dollar is now at stake. With first-hand reporting and fresh analysis that illustrates the vast, often unappreciated power that the Treasury Department wields at home and abroad, Paper Soldiers tells the inside story of how we really got here - and the future not only of the almighty dollar, but the nation's teetering role as a democratic superpower.

" Paper Soldiers is a deeply reported, authoritative examination of Washington's hidden power center -- the U.S. Treasury -- and how the men and women who've overseen it have helped turn the U.S. dollar into a powerful, contentious, and ultimately risky weapon of global influence. A must-read book for anyone looking to go beyond the headlines and truly understand how power works in Washington." -- Joshua Green , #1 NYT bestselling author of Devil's Bargain , and a writer for Bloomberg Businessweek "With thorough reporting and enlightening, propulsive writing, Saleha Mohsin ushers readers into the gilded rooms and global hotspots where the American dollar has shaped history. A brilliant feat of explanatory journalism." -- Toluse Olorunnipa , Pulitzer Prize-winning author of His Name Is George Floyd: One Man's Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice "Saleha Mohsin expertly guides us through the last several decades of mistakes and triumphs in our dollar policy with meticulous fly-on-the-wall detail.
