English Summary/英文概要： SALES & MARKETING NOTES
• This is a future classic: a truly popular book that allows readers with little or no knowledge of economics to understand the global economy, by means of one simple concept.
• Dharshini David is a rising star – a born communicator and trained economist who has reported on business and economics stories around the world.
• Could not be more relevant: perfect reading for all of those who want to make sense of what is happening on the news, and to understand the realities of our globalised world.

The dollar is the lifeblood of globalisation: China holds billions in reserve for good reason. Greenbacks, singles, bucks or dead presidents, call them what you will, $1.2 trillion worth are floating around right now – and half the dollars in circulation are actually outside of the USA.

But what is really happening as these billions of dollars go around the world every day? By following $1 from a shopping trip in suburban Texas, via China’s Central Bank, Nigerian railroads, the oil fields of Iraq and beyond, The Almighty Dollar answers questions such as: why is China the world’s biggest manufacturer – and the US its biggest customer? Is free trade really a good thing? Why would a nation build a bridge on the other side of the globe?

i David lays bare these complex interrelationships through the simple story of one dollar as it moves through the opaque international system. This is essential reading that gets to the heart of how our new globalised world really works.

美元是全球化的命脉：中国美元储备量非常高，眼下1.2万亿美元正在全球周转——流通中的美元中超过一半在美国境外流通。

然而，当这些美元每天在全球各地周转时，究竟发生了什么？《万能的美元》回答了诸如“为何中国是最大的生产者、而美国是最大的消费者”之类的问题。自由贸易真的是件好事吗？

作者David通过简单的一美元故事剖析了这些复杂的关系。本书揭开了全球化世界究竟是如何运作的。(LYR)
