King Dollar: The Past and Future of the World’s Dominant Currency

His latest book, published by Yale University Press in March 2025, is King Dollar: The Past and Future of the World’s Dominant Currency.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, Paul spent much of his career reporting for The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. His work has won several prizes, including business journalism’s most prestigious, the Gerald Loeb Award.
