Sheer Post has the article Ellen Brown: The Coming Global Financial Revolution: Russia Is Following the American Playbook.

No country has successfully challenged the U.S. dollar’s global hegemony—until now. How did this happen and what will it mean?

I am not a particular fan of Ellen Brown, but I think this article by her is pretty decent. It also has some links I might want to follow if I haven’t already seen the referenced article.

Here is one of the links Michael Hudson: The American Empire self-destructs. I am a huge fan of Michael Hudson. He is the original thinker that other people refer to.
