Ken Rogoff's new book - A great way to understand international finance

 

This is a book that is a historical retrospective of the many key issues that Ken Rogoff researched over the last four decades. It is autobiographical as Rogoff walks through how he was engaged with many of the key topics of international finance. It was quite a run of problems: 

• The Cold War
• The Asian currency crisis
• The rise of China 
• The issue of Japan and currency moves
• The single currency in Europe 

All of these policy and economic issues required fundamental research to make the right choice and understand the crises being faced. Rogoff makes all of the issues approachable. The complexities are presented clearly, mixed with personal stories. If you want to understand the problems of international finance over the last few decades, you could not do better than read this book.
