What would the world look like without the dollar domination？ US officials are【C1】______ou

t a deal to end the government shutdown and【C2】______its debt limit, hoping to avoid a global【C3】______crisis. Meanwhile, some eyed【C4】______to the US dollar to avoid a repeat. Earlier this week, an editorial from Xinhua news agency, called【C5】______a new international reserve currency to【C6】______the dollar. "It is perhaps a good time for the【C7】______world to start considering building a de-Americanized world," it said. An organization like the International Monetary Fund could theoretically【C8】______an entirely new international currency, says Benjamin Cohen of the University of California, but political disagreement would raise its ugly【C9】______again "Think of all the trouble the European Monetary Union has had【C10】______with just 17 countries. Now【C11】______by ten." "I think it much more likely that another【C12】______currency becomes more important in international markets," says Menzie Chinn of the University of Wisconsin. "The Chinese are, with mixed【C13】______, pursuing a path of making their own currency more international." 【C14】______dont expect to be cashing in renminbi any time soon. The last big【C15】______in reserve currency, from British pounds to the US dollar, began in the 1950s and【C16】______two decades. Even if we could just【C17】______the dollar overnight, no other currency, including the renminbi, can currently【C18】______it, says Cohen. "Governments still use the dollar,【C19】______the current political difficulty in Washington, because of its【C20】______availability, deep liquidity and wide acceptability."
