A Charlie Rose Global Conversation: Ken Rogoff is a distinguished Professor of International Economics and Summa Cum Laude graduate of Yale, with a PhD in economics from MIT.
Perhaps more interesting to some is that he is a brilliant grandmaster chess champion who had an extraordinary career, winning the U.S. Junior Championship before deciding at 18 to excel in economics.
He served as chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. After teaching at Princeton, he is now the Maurits C. Boas Chair of International Economics at Harvard University. This is a moment to talk about global economics, as the war in Iran has caused huge swings in the price of oil, gasoline, and fertilizer.
We will talk about many things, including the Iran war, the control of the Strait of Hormuz, the regime in Iran, and President Trump.
Also the global economy, debt, the dollar, interest rates, the Federal Reserve, and the risks of artificial intelligence. I’m pleased to welcome back Ken Rogoff.Charlie Rose283K subscribers
