A very nice primer with what our country's foreign policy is rooted in. A modern version of colonialism. The trade of oil/energy in the world is advantageous to be done in US dollars. Our exorbitant privilege since WWII. The circular flow of dollar denominated trade serves to be a financial incentive to perpetuate it. And a world full of American military bases serves to bolster that.

Alex Kraimer a former hedge fund manager speaks with Glenn Diesen a Norwegian political scientist addressing this advantage and how it works with the big banking industry of the US and Europe. A nice laypersons explanation to how the system works.  

And a noticeable connection to the wars that our country has involved itself in.
