Our Dollar, Your Problem

Kenneth Rogoff · 2025

Recommended by 2 people on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Furman recommends it
This book manages to pull all of that together in a way that's genuinely readable and engaging, helped along by anecdotes from his own policymaking experience that both clarify the arguments and make them feel concrete and accessible to a much broader audience.

Catherine Rampell recommends it
Um, currently I am reading Ken Rogoff's book, Our Dollar Your Problem, which has like a sweeping history of how the dollar became the global reserve currency and how much of that was about luck and whether that will persist. I haven't finished it yet, but I really I'm really enjoying it right now.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
