比关税更要命，一场全新的货币大战，正在颠覆全球金融格局。 川普上任以来，不断地挥舞关税大棒，吸引了全球媒体的目光。 但在关税之外，川普还在干一件大事，却被媒体当成了花边，那就是推广虚拟货币。 虚拟货币大家都知道，比如像比特币、以太坊等等，但这东西因为它天然去中心化的属性，所以各国政府一般都比较排斥。 但川普不一样，他自己就发行了一种虚拟货币，叫作特朗普币，还以美国总统的身份亲自代言，那些持有特朗普币最多的人，甚至还会被邀请参观白宫，跟 川普一起共进晚餐。 对川普的这个行为，大多数人都以为，他这么做就是为了赚钱，确实，他的家族在短短两个月里，已经通过特朗普币捞了上10亿美元。 但川普的目的真的就这么简单吗？ 直到最近，欧洲央行发出警报，我们才发现，虚拟货币是一个比关税更要命的大杀器，川普正在用它重塑全球金融格局，并试图彻底解决美债危机。 这次引起引起欧洲央行警觉的，是以美元为锚的稳定币，我先解释一下什么是稳定币。 打个比方，我们玩电子游戏，得先充值，比如把钱充进去兑换成欢乐豆，然后再用欢乐豆购买游戏里的道具。 稳定币其实就是一种欢乐豆，它最初是由一些虚拟货币交易平台推出的，比如你想购买比特币，就得先在某平台上充 ...

1993年1月20日，美国举行了冷战结束后的第一次总统就职典礼。这次典礼上的演讲者是一位看似稳重且果断的中年男子，他的名字叫比尔·克林顿。 克林顿能够在1992年的总统选举中击败老布什并最终胜出，并非仅仅依靠其年轻的优势。他和他的妻子希拉里都是非常老练的政治人物，深谙权谋之道。克 林顿在美国总统宝座上的时机恰好与美国的"黄金时代"契合。 在当时，世界依然被苏联解体的巨大震动所影响，没有任何国家敢质疑和挑战美国的全球霸权。正是因为这样，克林顿试图为全球设定一种新的政治经济体 系，而这一计划几乎没有受到阻碍。因此，克林顿开始着手建立一个以美国为核心的全球剥削体系。 培养"经济白手套" 至今，这一体系仍然为美国带来丰厚的收益，甚至美国还试图运用这一框架来对中国进行打压。那么，克林顿为美国设计的这一剥削体系到底具备哪些独特 的优势呢？美国是否能够依靠过去的经验有效遏制中国的发展呢？接下来，我们将一一探讨。 在克林顿的战略布局中，俄罗斯作为廉价能源的供应国，而欧洲国家则承担了大部分的工业生产任务。美国则通过掌控高科技产业，赚取巨额财富。而冷战 后的俄罗斯在美国专家的建议下，几乎完全顺从美国的战略，直至今日，俄罗斯的经济 ...
