Will anybody buy a ‘Mar-a-Lago accord’?

If one is to understand this more sophisticated approach, one should read Miran’s “A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System”, published in November 2024.

Underpinning Miran’s argument is a proposition made by the Belgian economist Robert Triffin in the early 1960s. 

Triffin argued that the growing demand for dollars as a reserve asset could only be supplied by persistent US current account deficits. 

This in turn meant that the dollar was persistently overvalued relative to the requirements of equilibrium in the balance of payments.
