Two copies of "Exorbitant Privilege"

I did again, but only for the second time. I borrowed the same book twice but on separate occasion.

The first copy I had to reserve it. The second one was waiting for me at the open shelves.

This is a good book. I have read about a third of it. Helps me to see what is buffeting  the door in the context of history. What is happening to the USD today is hardly novel. It had faced the same stress beginning from the mid sixties. It had enjoyed some good years in the nineties up till near the end of Bush second term. Long enough for people to forget, with not enough old timers around to make a difference.

There isn't enough time for me to do justice to the first copy, hence the second copy.
