In Episode 277 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Perry Mehrling. Dr. Mehrling is Professor of International Political Economy at the Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University, where he teaches courses on global money. He is perhaps best known for having pioneered the so-called \\u201cmoney view,\\u201d an economic framework that attempts to put the real-world practitioners\\u2019 view of financial markets into an academic perspective.

Mehrling\\u2019s most recent book, \\u201cMoney and Empire,\\u201d is in some sense a biography of the US Dollar told through the life and times of the renowned economic historian, Charlie Kindleberger. The book traces the evolution of Charlie\\u2019s thinking alongside the rise of the international dollar system. It\\u2019s an illuminating history of the economic forces of international trade and finance and how those forces shape and are shaped by the politics of national interest.

The goal of today\\u2019s conversation is to help deepen your understanding of a system that has proven to be far more resilient than many of its critics and most ardent supporters could have possibly imagined. What has made the system so strong, the challenges that could impede its function, and the role of politics and war in accelerating changes to it are all topics that we explore today.\\xa0
