There is a guy on youtube named Chris Martenson that did a video series on how the US dollar has been devalued. In his presentation he showed charts that indicated how war was one of the driving forces in that process.
Mike Maloney's Hidden Secrets of Money series on YT is also a great place to start. Ep1-4, totaling about 2 hrs worth of content. 1-4 were released in 2013-2015.
Mike takes a more macro and historical focused perspective by showing how all currencies start strongly using gold and silver, then are debased and devalued over time. And shows how the Fed , inflationary policy, and fractional reserve banking are killing the economy (and why a person should invest in physical gold and silver).
High production value and Mike is still speaking the truth to this day. His analysis was early, as he's predicting economic crash the world has never seen, but as we all know here....just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Please understand that having a US dollar being at the top of buying power isnt always good for world trade. Remember that the US is still a top exporter of goods which adds to the nations GDP.
Do a thought exercise with 100 people in a room representing everyone w USD in 1913. Let’s say each of them has $1,000. Let’s call one of those 100 people “the chosen one” who happens to have direct ties through contracts with the Big Guy to newly minted money. At this point in time there are $100,000 in circulation. To reduce this purchasing power by 95% the money supply would need to grow by 100/5= 20x. That would put the total in circulation at $2,000,000. Let’s say though that all that printed money just went to “the chosen one” or TCO for short. So now TCO has $1,901,000 and everyone else still only has $1,000. But here’s the main point…. TCO has about $95,050 ($1,901,000/20) purchasing power in the original 1913 money. And everyone else has $50 ($1,000/20) purchasing power in the original money. And this is the wealth transfer. TCO stole everyone else’s purchasing power.
Don’t look at “what happened to my purchasing power?”, but rather ask “who has my purchasing power now?” There are only a few ways to create value, most of which come from the sun, or our brains (which are ultimately fueled by the sun growing plants, that get eaten by animals which we go on to eat). So almost all value on earth comes from the sun growing everything or giving us power to draw out natural resources, and run our vehicles and machines.
Everything else is not a creation but a transfer. It does not vanish or evaporate. Someone has this money now.
Follow the money trail and take back all the wealth. Then invest it in Industries that will employ the largest percentage of the population. Even if our Industries break even or even take a small loss. The collective tax and economy spun is a winning formula. Compared to the evil we've suffered under the Fed and private Banksters
