Can the dollar shake? [political forecast interview given to newspaper by NADU professor under President of Ukraine Eduard Afonin]

Now, as in the days of Bill Clinton, powerful candidates came to the presidency in an almost equal political duel: a representative of the American Democrats and a Republican who personifies the interests of big capital based on a distribution (distributive) form of justice. Despite the defeat of Lady Hillary, experts do not rule out a worsening economic situation in the States like the Great Depression, which took place almost a hundred years ago.

■ Washington will be more energetic than it was before, “dumping” responsibility for the dollar mass. It is highly likely that under such conditions the dollar and the corresponding instruments of the international financial market (which, in fact, ensured US influence in the world) will yield to other neoplasms, ”says Eduard Afonin, professor of political analytics and forecasting, National Academy of Public Administration. – Given the new socio-historical conditions, a total collapse of the dollar may occur for more than 20 years, economic experts predict. In these conditions, the owners of the “green”, obviously, need to lay out their fortunes in baskets of various currencies, invest in real estate and other values. According to the scientist, Ukrainian should pay attention to the results of studies conducted by Argentine economist and philosopher Claudio Salomon: while researching the American economy, he came to the conclusion that the most profitable is the information and innovation sphere of the economy. Moreover, if the most possible profit of the industrial segment of the economy at that time was 14%, the new segment, although it required large amounts of investment from business entities, still allowed not only to cover expenses, but also to earn up to 86% of the profit. Thus, Ukraine is robustly ridden for dollar loans, and for the spheres of the information and innovation economy, since it is precisely them that will develop in the near future as the most profitable.
