L’int\u00e9r\u00eat<\/em><\/strong>.\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tAinsi ce fait absolument mercantile est-il devenu absolument une valeur. Comment voudrait-on que cela puisse r\u00e9sister \u00e0 l’Histoire, \u00e0 part au gr\u00e9 de circonstances trompeuses et factices (la victoire de 1945 et la Guerre froide)? A part cette remarque ou l’autre que nous avons mise en \u00e9vidence, l’article nous restitue pour l’essentiel (!) une analyse caricaturale, une analyse am\u00e9ricaniste, incapable de saisir l’essence de la chose, du d\u00e9clin du dollar. Il ne fait que laisser deviner \u00e0 ceux qui s’en pr\u00e9occupent l’essentialit\u00e9 du ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne. L’essentiel est \u00e9voqu\u00e9 ici et l\u00e0, exactement comme s’il s’agissait de l’accessoire. C’est une bonne mesure de notre temps.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abThe sharp decline of the U.S. dollar since 2000 is affecting a broad swath of the world’s population, with its drop on global markets being blamed at least in part for misfortunes as diverse as labor strikes in the Middle East, lost jobs in Europe and the end of an era of globe-trotting rich Americans.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIt marks a shift for Americans in the global economy. In times of strength, a mightier dollar allowed Americans to feed their insatiable appetite for foreign goods at cheap prices while providing Yankees abroad with virtually unrivaled economic clout. But now, as the United States struggles to fend off a recession, observers say the less lofty dollar is having both a tangible and intangible diminishing effect.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe dollar was the dominant force in world economics for 100 years we had no competition, said C. Fred Bergsten, an American economist and director of the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics. There was no other economy close to the size of the United States. But all that is now changing.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t( )<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbThe chink in the dollar’s armor has dealt a blow to American pride at least to the kind of pride that comes with buying power.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbNowhere is that more visible than with Americans overseas. It’s changed our lifestyle, said Lauren Amlani, 48, who moved to Paris from California with her husband and young son in March 2006. A meal with pizza and drinks for the three of us comes to over $75. That’s ridiculous!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAmlani’s husband, Aslam, a project manager at Disneyland Paris, is paid in dollars. To compensate for the plunge of the dollar against the euro, the Amlanis are buying clothes and electronics in the United States and hauling them back to Paris.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWith the exception of November, when the dollar dropped sharply after bearish remarks by Chinese officials, the fall has been gradual. It is unclear what will happen in the future. The dollar has fallen because of a combination of fears over the U.S. economy, including the subprime mortgage crisis that may worsen.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
