 The media's ignorance of the Triffin dilemma reflects their entrenched Keynesian bias and institutional reluctance to acknowledge fundamental flaws in the fiat currency system that benefits establishment powers. 
 I don’t see which school Triffin was from and Keynes himself expressed similar concerns. I find it so strange because IMO it’s a pretty simple, apolitical concept that anyone can learn in a few minutes. 
 Eh… it’s a little complex. Requires understanding meaning of reserve currency for starters. But yeah, agree
