I was re-reading Webster Tarpley's Synthetic Terror (3rd or 4th time, it's got so much in it to digest), and he spends a lot of time talking about the constant near-meltdowns of the dollar and the world financial system since the 1970s. He reminds us that the 1990s were not a decade of peace and prosperity like we tend to think.
