Tariffs on money?

Until recently, the notion would have seemed crazy. 

But some maverick economists, such as Michael Pettis, have long dissented from this orthodox view.

That is because inflows boost the dollar’s value, foster excessive financialisation and hollow out America’s industrial base

This trio appears minded to reset global trade and finance, via a putative Mar-a-Lago accord

 Let me stress that I am not endorsing this, nor predicting with any confidence it truly will happen. 

And it must be noted that Pettis’s theories provoke outrage among many mainstream economists.
