The Dollar Fault Line is an engineering analysis of the global economy's structural fragility. It argues that the physical and financial plumbing of the dollar system has created a single point of failure. It's a book about how the system works and how it can mechanically break.
The global economy is dangerously dollar-dependent due to its centralized clearing infrastructure, creating a single point of failure vulnerable to sudden, catastrophic shocks.
The book focuses on the "plumbing"—the mechanics of Fedwire, CHIPS, FX swaps, and correspondent banking that form the "Manhattan Bottleneck." It emphasizes how non-market events—like a cyber-attack on clearing systems, a regional power outage, or a U.S. debt-ceiling standoff—can trigger an immediate global liquidity crisis.
The Dollar Fault Line is available everywhere books are sold.
