Economist Kenneth Rogoff’s new book entwines currency’s ascension, his own experiences, and looks at what looms ahead It looks like the end of an era for the U.S. dollar.
Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff’s new book, Our Dollar, Your Problem, blends seven decades of global finance with his personal journey — from Cold War chess prodigy to IMF chief economist — to argue that U.S. dollar dominance is entering decline. While the dollar will remain preeminent, fiscal deficits, Fed pressure, and geopolitical backlash (accelerated by Trump’s tariff and sanctions strategy) threaten its unique status. Rogoff warns that losing the dollar’s “exorbitant privilege” would make crises harder to weather and interest rates higher. Drawing from economic history and personal insight, Rogoff urges Americans to acknowledge their global responsibility.

The Times: Harvard, you’ve got a problem — but Donald Trump’s war will backfire
Niall Ferguson argues that while Harvard faces real issues — including a documented culture of antisemitism, political intolerance, and DEI-driven discrimination — Donald Trump’s aggressive crackdown, including threats to revoke federal funding and tax-exempt status, risks backfiring. Drawing a historical parallel to James II’s failed confrontation with Oxford, Ferguson warns that blunt-force tactics may turn Harvard’s worst offenders into martyrs. He acknowledges Harvard’s need for reform but urges strategic, lawful pressure over authoritarian overreach, noting that careless intervention may undermine both academic freedom and constitutional principles.
《时报》：哈佛，你有问题——但唐纳德·特朗普的战争将适得其反
