The story of the dollar is that of a myth, the American dream. The dollar flinches and the world quakes. Are we living the first signs of the end of an empire? The Marvelous History of the US Dollar examines the green back's history, allure, and unique role as a catalyst for globalization, and how the American buck became so almighty that "$" is the most powerful symbol on earth.
