DESCRIPTION:<a href="http://popcornclubshanghai.com/event/will-the-us-dolla
 r-remain-the-reserve-currency-45839/register">Will The US Dollar Remain Th
 e Reserve Currency?</a>\nThe US dollar has dominated the global financial 
 system for decades\, but will that still be true after the Iran War\, or c
 ould the shift begin before the conflict even ends? In this timely guided 
 discussion\, politics and history expert Adam will explore one of the bigg
 est questions hanging over the global economy: can the dollar remain the w
 orld's dominant reserve currency? We'll first unpack what a reserve curren
 cy actually is and why it matters\, before examining the extraordinary adv
 antages the United States still possesses—from the size and power of its
  economy to its geography\, security and deeply established financial syst
 em. Then we'll build the case from the other side. America's enormous debt
  and persistent deficits\, political polarisation and recurring battles ov
 er government finances have raised questions about whether the rest of the
  world will always be comfortable depending so heavily on the dollar. Coul
 d China\, the BRICS countries or emerging economies gradually build credib
 le alternatives? And what happens when war and geopolitics become part of 
 that calculation? Adam will guide us through the strongest arguments on bo
 th sides\, using history\, economics and current events to help us separat
 e dramatic predictions from genuine structural change. You don't need to k
 now anything about currencies\, economics or international politics to joi
 n. Come curious\, challenge the arguments\, and leave with a much clearer 
 understanding of why the future of the dollar could affect almost everyone
 . 几十年来，美元一直在全球金融体系里占据主导地位，
 但伊朗战争之后还会是这样吗？还是说在冲突结束之前
 ，转变就已经开始了？在这场应景的引导式讨论中，政
 治与历史专家Adam会带我们探讨全球经济头上悬着的最大
 问题之一：美元还能继续当世界主要储备货币吗？我们
 会先搞清楚储备货币到底是什么、为什么它这么重要，
 然后再看看美国目前仍然拥有的那些超强优势——从经
 济规模和实力，到地理位置、安全保障，以及根深蒂固
 的金融体系。 [...]
