The people in charge of monetary and military policy aren't. This is how you get stories of American elites reading Mao.

The neoliberal option for Europe, reinforced by a supposedly ‘nonpolitical’ management of its common currency (the euro), is a major handicap for any strategy to lift the continent clear of stagnation. This absurd monetary policy suits Washington down to the ground, since the US currency (the dollar) is managed in a quite different, thoroughly political manner that has nothing to do with neoliberal dogma. Combined with the possibility that Washington will gain exclusive control over the world’s oil reserves, it ensures that what I call the oil/dollar standard will remain in the end the sole international monetary instrument, relegating the euro to the status of a subaltern regional currency.

The EU truly believe the neoliberal dogma, the US don't. It's why they manage their currency in the way they do, it's why they bail out the capitalists, it's why they did the oil wars, it's why everytime someone tries to sell oil in alternative currencies they get invaded by the US.
