While the three-ring circus to avert a federal government shutdown came to an abrupt end last weekend, the main event for the global economic community was convened in Bretton Woods at the Mount Washington Hotel. A palatial structure nestled among the mountains and pine trees of upstate New Hampshire, it was the site of a landmark meeting of world leaders in 1944 that reordered the post-World War II global economy by establishing the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and exchange rates among various national currencies around the world.

The Teflon dollar is brushing off everything thrown at it by the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), and analysts say there is no viable alternative to the dollar as the world's numeraire, or unit of account in the global financial system. Three China-based companies used the renminbi to settle cross-border trade deals for the first time ever in July in an experiment aimed at reducing the country's reliance on the dollar.
