Abstract :
The US dollar as the international currency was brought up by Bretton Woods System after the Second World War. The maneuver had brought US as a superpower in international economy. But in the middle of its process, in August 15th 1971, US President, Richard Nixon, decided to put an end to the Bretton Woods System. A new system was introduced when oil became the new gold in international monetary system. This petro-dollar system was the main instrument for sustaining the hegemony of US. But at this rate, the system won’t last forever because the system opposes the moral law, primarily at the principles of honesty, justice, and freedom.
