    Why Supplanting the Dollar Would Be Good for America
    By JUSTIN FOX Thursday, Apr. 09, 2009
    New column: Down with the dollar! And up with the SDR! (Up with Esperanto, too, while we’re at it) Or maybe not. In the past few weeks, another rival to the dollar — created in 1969 but dormant for most of the time since — has made a spectacular re-entry onto the world scene. It goes by the ungainly name of special drawing right (SDR), and it is the currency not of some foreign rival but of the (…)
