The Next Reset: How the World Ends the Dollar Era (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798190307344)

Every reserve currency in history believed itself permanent - right up until it wasn't.

Spanish silver. The classical gold standard. Bretton Woods. The Nixon Shock. Five centuries of monetary history follow the same pattern: fiscal overreach, delayed reckoning, and an eventual reset that rewrites the rules of money itself. The U.S. dollar has now held the world's reserve currency throne longer than any arrangement since the gold standard's golden age. History suggests that's not a sign of permanence - it's what the moment right before a reset has always looked like.

THE NEXT RESET lays out the case in plain terms: the debt arithmetic behind America's fiscal trajectory, the mechanics of the "exorbitant privilege" now under quiet erosion, and the concrete steps already being taken - from central bank gold buying to BRICS settlement systems - to build a world that no longer needs the dollar at the center.

Rather than a single doomsday prediction, this book lays out nine distinct scenarios for how a reset could unfold - from the quiet erosion of currency debasement to a full disorderly collapse - and asks the question most books in this space skip past: who wins, who loses, and what history actually teaches about positioning for a transition nobody can time with precision.

Grounded in Austrian and Chicago school economic thought, and written by a retired law enforcement officer turned independent publisher with a lifelong interest in monetary history, THE NEXT RESET is a clear-eyed framework for thinking about the sixth reset in modern history - not a forecast, but a map.
