Ep. 221 Kenneth Rogoff, "Our Dollar, Your Problem"
Kenneth Rogoff is professor of economics at Harvard University and former International Monetary

lofty pinnacle without a certain amount of good luck. However, as Professor
Rogoff nears the end of his 345-page book, he writes, quote: "If rapidly

substantial period of global financial volatility marked by higher average real interest rates and inflation."
