Mark Calabria will talk about the current and future role of the Dollar in the Global Monetary System.  He will discuss what makes a global currency and evaluate the potential for both the Euro and the Yuan as competitors to the Dollar.  In doing so, Calabria will cover the influence of monetary policy on a currency’s value as well as the impact a reserve currency has on domestic industries.  An open discussion will touch upon current challenges facing the Euro zone.
