Join one of the world’s foremost observers on the global economy, Professor Kenneth Rogoff, as he discusses his new book Our Dollar, Your Problem, with Professor of Economics Andrea Ferrero from Oxford’s Department of Economics. The event is moderated by the School’s Professor of Economics and Public Policy Clare Leaver.
In Our Dollar, Your Problem, Professor Rogoff, the Maurits C. Boas Professor of Economics at Harvard University and former International Monetary Fund chief economist, explores the global rise of the U.S. dollar and shows why its future stability is far from assured, animating the remarkable postwar run of the dollar—how it beat out the Japanese yen, the Soviet ruble, and the euro—and the challenges it faces today from crypto and the Chinese yuan, the end of reliably low inflation and interest rates, political instability, and the fracturing of the dollar bloc.
The discussion is followed by a drinks reception.
