Uncle Scrooge's Economics

The world has been talking about de-dollarization for a long time now, but implementing the planned measures isn't as easy as it looks. Dethroning the dollar as the world's reserve currency is like the 9th wounder. Everyone fantasizes about it, but no one has the ability to do it. The dollar has so much dominance that if the FED (US Central Bank) stopped circulating the dollar, we would literally die of hunger or hyperinflation.

His father never really paid attention to him, but his mother realized from the very beginning that he was a gifted child because, at the age of three and a half, he was able to read and write, and by the age of five, he was already reading financial newspapers. In fact, h

George Soros is one of the most influential investors and traders out there. It isn't as easy as it looks to manage trading and investments at the same time. Even though he gives the world, especially India, many reasons to hate him, we should think rationally and have an open mind to absorb his learnings. Out of the many successful trades undertaken by George Soros, this one has the characteristics to stand out. He has famously said that it doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. What matters is how much you lost when you were wrong and how much you made when you were right. Today, we will talk about one such trade that made people call Mr. Soros a crook and a genius at the same time. For all those historophiles, fasten your seat belts because the amount involved in this trade will surely give you goosebumps. The event dates back to the 1992 currency crisis that forced the British government to withdraw from the European exchange rate mechanism and devalue its currency,
