New Book Says the U.S. Dollar Is More Vulnerable Than We Think
- Why Elliott Schuchardt’s ‘America’s Achilles Heel’ Deserves Close Attention
Knoxville, Tennessee, 2 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Every once in a while, a book arrives that feels less like a publication and more like a public service. Elliott Schuchardt’s America’s Achilles Heel is exactly that kind of book – clear, urgent, hopeful, and impossible to ignore.
At a time when grocery bills climb, global alliances shift, and Americans quietly wonder what’s coming next, Schuchardt offers a steady, informed voice explaining why the U.S. dollar may be heading toward a significant decline and what we should do about it.
What sets this book apart is Schuchardt himself. Schuchardt spent nearly thirty years practicing law, where he engaged in a series of high-profile political cases, that ruffled feathers in both state and federal government. He has now a candidate for the Tennessee General Assembly in the August 2026 primary. Schuchardt’s concern is the dollar. Schuchardt approaches the issue with a blend of expertise and genuine concern for everyday Americans.
You can catch it in the writing. He isn’t trying to scare readers – he’s trying to prepare them.
A Clear Warning: The BRICS Alliance Might Reshape Global Power
In America’s Achilles Heel, Schuchardt lays out a compelling case that the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – are moving forward to issuing a rival reserve currency. While that may sound distant or abstract, he explains in a way that feels surprisingly personal.
In his book, Schuchardt cites the warning of economist, Robert Triffin. Triffin was a Yale Professor, who previously worked at the Federal Reserve, in New York.
In the early 1960s, Triffin famously predicted that the dollar would collapse in value, if the United States used the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Triffin said that a reserve currency needed to printed in large quantities, to keep the planet running efficiently. However, this poses a double-edged sword. If the United States prints too many dollars, the planet would eventually lose faith in the currency, causing the value of the dollar to fall. This became known as the “Triffin dilemma.” Too much supply causes value to fall.
In his book, Schuchardt looks at how Britain dealt with the loss of the reserve currency, in the 1960s. By 1960, British leaders knew that their days in the sun were numbered. More and more, the planet was doing business in U.S. dollars. This meant that their ability to print British pounds with abandon was coming to an end.
Britain actively worked with the world community to avoid a collapse in the pound sterling. They negotiated emergency lines of credit with other industrial nations. They leaned on their current and former colonies to keep their national reserves in British pounds, rather than U.S. dollars. When the oil markets finally rejected the British pound in 1974, Britain was ready. The currency fell, but there was no complete collapse.
Schuchardt says that the United States needs to take similar measures now, to avoid a collapse in the dollar. He reminds us that efforts are already underway to replace the U.S. currency. China and Russia are putting together an alliance for the sole purpose of replacing the dollar in world trade. According to Schuchardt, China’s new alliance – known as BRICS – represents 25% of the globe’s landmass. More importantly, BRICS controls 43% of the world’s oil production and 44% of the planet’s production of grains.
Schuchardt says that BRICS could easily price its commodities in a currency, other than the dollar. If this were to happen, the world’s resources would flow to the issuer of the new currency – i.e. China and partners – rather than to North America. The United States would be cut out of the world’s oil trade overnight, wreaking havoc with America’s supply chains. Goods that formerly flowed to the United States would be redirected to the Global South, as the new issuer of the reserve currency.
Schuchardt’s message is simple but sobering: we cannot afford to assume the dollar will remain king forever. History rewards nations that anticipate change, not those who deny it.
Why Tennessee Should Care
Schuchardt’s home state, Tennessee, needs to be aware of the risk posed by the BRICS alliance. In his book, Schuchardt points out that Tennessee – like the rest of America – is dependent upon imported goods financed by the petrodollar. The United States imports about 30% of its oil consumption, using printed dollars. If those dollars were to fall in value, Tennessee could find itself without fuel to get to work. Even worse, Tennessee would have difficulty importing basic goods, such as clothing, auto parts, computers, and cell phones.
Tennessee needs a leader with a forward-thinking mindset, and Elliott Schuchardt is exactly that kind. Running for the Tennessee General Assembly, he plans to advocate for long-term economic resilience, and state-level planning that doesn’t wait for Washington to wake up.
America’s Achilles Heel is timely, as it not only points out a problem, but it also offers direction. The book presents a clear plan for what leaders should be doing to protect citizens if the BRICS nations launch a competing reserve currency.
Now that many avoid difficult conversations, it’s refreshing to see a candidate willing to confront uncomfortable truths head-on.
A Book That Sparks Conversation – And Action
America’s Achilles Heel shines with its engaging tone. Schuchardt never talks down to the reader. He writes as if he’s sitting across the table, calmly explaining something he believes every American deserves to understand. The book feels like a conversation we should have had years ago – but thankfully, one we can still act on today.
Worried about inflation? Curious about international economics? Or simply want leaders who strategize ahead instead of reacting too late? This book delivers clarity and direction.
For Tennesseans and any conscious citizen who wants to know what’s at stake, learning about Schuchardt’s campaign can give even more clues.
In a world changing faster than most people realize, America’s Achilles Heel is more than a warning. It’s an invitation to think smarter, prepare better, and protect our financial future before global forces make the decisions for us.
Elliott Schuchardt is a candidate for the Tennessee General Assembly in the August 2026 election. He is a graduate of Columbia Law School and Cornell University. Before running for office, Schuchardt practiced law in the Tennessee courts. He focused his practice on civil liberties and governmental reform.

-
A continued focus on pieces designed for lasting comfort and meaningful personal use
California, USA, 2nd March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Sunshine Jewelries highlights its ongoing commitment to thoughtful design and jewelry created for real wear. The brand’s current direction centers on pieces that support daily life, personal milestones, and long-term use rather than short-lived trends or single-occasion styling.
“We focus on creating pieces people reach for instinctively, whether they are dressing for work, meeting friends, or marking a meaningful moment.”
The brand’s latest emphasis reflects a growing shift toward jewelry that feels natural in everyday settings. Rather than treating jewelry as something reserved for events alone, Sunshine Jewelries approaches design as part of a person’s routine. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings are developed with balance, proportion, and comfort in mind, allowing each piece to move easily from morning to evening without feeling overstated or impractical.
“Jewelry should feel dependable, not limit how often it gets worn,” said a representative from Sunshine Jewelries. “Our designs are meant to fit into real wardrobes and real lives, while still holding meaning and presence.”
Materials across current collections include sterling silver, 10K and 14K gold, and carefully selected stones set with secure construction. Each design prioritizes wearability, accurate sizing, and thoughtful finishes that hold up to repeated use. Attention to comfort plays a central role, from smooth edges to reliable closures that support confidence during daily wear.
Sunshine Jewelries also continues to place importance on emotional connection. Many pieces are created with gifting in mind, offering options suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, career milestones, and personal celebrations. Clean silhouettes and versatile designs allow jewelry to feel personal without being tied to a single moment or trend cycle.
Alongside design philosophy, Sunshine Jewelries maintains a customer-focused shopping experience through its online store. The brand offers secure checkout, clear product information, fast delivery, and real-time order tracking to support a smooth purchasing process. This operational consistency reflects the same care applied to product design.
By reinforcing its commitment to jewelry made for real life, Sunshine Jewelries continues to position itself as a brand grounded in intention, wearability, and emotional relevance. The focus remains on pieces that stay present in daily routines, becoming part of personal stories rather than background accessories.
Current collections are available through the Sunshine Jewelries online store.

London, United Kingdom, 2nd Mar 2026 — A new 2025 Luxury Fashion Sustainability Benchmark released by sustainability consultancy Context reveals a growing divide between the depth of environmental disclosures and social transparency. The benchmark analyses the public sustainability and ESG reporting of 10 of the world’s largest luxury fashion companies, including Burberry, Chanel, LVMH, and Kering.
Social Sustainability: Placing People at the Centre
The benchmark assesses how effectively luxury fashion companies identify, manage, and report on key sustainability issues across five categories. It evaluates reporting maturity and transparency, rather than actual sustainability performance. The findings highlight the growing importance of developing a more holistic sustainability strategy that places people at the centre. While companies are integrating actionable targets and goals related to their material issues, such as climate, transparency doesn’t yet extend far enough to the people behind the products.
“As regulatory scrutiny increases and expectations rise, credible leadership will depend on companies being as open about social impacts, risks and opportunities as they are about emissions and other environmental topics,” said Helen Fisher, Managing Director at Context.
Key findings from the 2025 Luxury Fashion Sustainability Benchmark include:
- Communicating a strategy: All luxury fashion companies provided updates on their sustainability strategy, but the extent to which it covered the company’s most material environmental, social, and governance issues varied.
- Double materiality: 40% had communicated their impacts on planet and society, and the financial implications of those impacts, by reporting the results of a double materiality assessment.
- Governance: Sustainability governance is well-established at both the Board and executive levels, but detailed ESG risk management disclosures are sparse.
- Climate metrics: Luxury fashion companies tend to report more extensive climate-related data, but transparent communication on setbacks or underperformance is limited.
- Nature: Nature reporting is slowly rising, with half following science-backed guidance from the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN). Only one company has SBTN validated freshwater and land targets.
+1 - Social impact: Reporting on social issues is weaker than on environmental and governance topics, indicating potential blind spots in supply chain risk.
- Reporting frameworks: Most luxury fashion companies report against at least one sustainability reporting framework, such as the Global Reporting Initiative Standards, commonly used by companies to publicly report their impacts on the planet, economy, and society.
