Consider first the current uproar over the declining international value of the dollar.
The truth is that the falling dollar is good news. For one thing, it’s mainly the result of rising confidence: The dollar rose at the height of the financial crisis as panicked investors sought safe haven in America, and it’s falling again now that the fear is subsiding. And a lower dollar is good for U.S. exporters, helping us make the transition away from huge trade deficits to a more sustainable international position.
In this instance I believe the Krugman is correct.
There is rising confidence, but not in the US Dollar.
A cheaper dollar is good for American exporters, but it’s certainly not good for us, Americans, to maintain a standard of living that is proportionately higher than that of others around the world.
Americans will have to accept that they are just ordinary, and not so much better than other people in the world.
The way we see ourselves is not so much based on what we have, but how much more we have relative to others.
American dominance is eroding but perhaps that’s what it takes to pay off our debts and maintain what we have.
