If you work across time zones, borders and cultures, this is the show for you. In the Weekly Concept series, Leonardo aims at defining a topic in international business. These are shorter episodes to illustrate key concepts in this discipline.

Dollarization occurs when a country transitions from using its domestic currency to adopting a foreign currency– typically the US dollar - to use alongside or instead of its own currency.
