In 1960, economist Robert Triffin warned Congress about the inherent flaw in the Bretton Woods system, predicting that the US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency would inevitably lead to a massive global debt. His prescient insights, now known as the triffin paradox, explained how the constant need for dollars in global trade would force the US to run perpetual deficits, ultimately jeopardizing the stability of the fiat currency itself.
