Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The dollar’s days as a global reserve currency may be numbered — at least if China and other key nations have their way. The Chinese proposed this week that the world move toward a new currency run by the International Monetary Fund. Experts say such a change could affect U.S. stimulus spending — and lead to an increase in mortgage and credit card interest rates for consumers. We’ll explore how complex debates about global currencies could have a very real impact on the U.S. economy.
Guests
- Charles Freeman Freeman Chair in China Studies, Center for Strategic and International Studies; former assistant U.S. trade representative for China affairs.
- Joanna Slater Reporter, The Wall Street Journal
