The Independent published an article by Robert Fisk on Tuesday October 6 called “The demise of the dollar” adding weight to the rumors that have been going around about an upcoming attack on the USD by the Chinese.

As a coincidence (or not) the dollar value of gold jumped by around 50 dollars in one day.

Below are some links that deal with the issues and their consequences raised in the article a lot better than I ever could.
