Quotes

“A well-written, often surprisingly lively book.” Financial Times (London)

“It’s an important book, accessible and entertaining. If this time is different, it will help you understand why.” Forbes

“[Rogoff] worries that we are jeopardizing the dollar’s pivotal role in the global economy. That should matter to all Americans.” Washington Post

“The central argument of Our Dollar, Your Problem—that the greenback’s pre-eminence was never guaranteed and might plausibly be overturned—could hardly be more timely.” The Economist (London)

“[Rogoff’s] autobiographical element nicely enhances the sometimes technical (but always accessible) monetary story.” Wall Street Journal

“Rogoff brilliantly describes the dominance of the dollar across time and space, its contenders, and the limits to its immortality, weaving in his personal experiences which makes for a delightful read.” Gita Gopinath, first deputy managing director, International Monetary Fund

“A tour de force—Ken Rogoff pairs delightful personal anecdotes with a sweeping portrait of the international monetary system. Rogoff’s prescient view on the possibly ‘shrinking’ dollar is certainly not to be taken lightly.” Hélène Rey, Lord Bagri Professor of Economics at London Business School

“[Rogoff’s new book is] very well timed…It’s a history of dollar dominance—how we built it, the challenges to it, and a warning, written before the Trump administration, that the rest of the world was already beginning to look for exits from it.” Ezra Klein
