Ex-IMF Chief Ken Rogoff: ‘The Federal Reserve is Under Assault,’ Warns Higher Inflation is Coming

Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with one of the world's most respected economists, former IMF Chief Kenneth Rogoff, for a stunning interview about the future of the U.S. dollar. As central banks buy gold at the fastest pace in modern history , Professor Rogoff, author of the new book 'Our Dollar, Your Problem,' explains why the dollar's "days are numbered."

In this wide-ranging discussion, Rogoff tells Jeremy Szafron why he believes the Federal Reserve is "under assault" - a structural problem in US politics that will inevitably lead to higher inflation. He also declares that "the Chinese crisis is here" , explains why the US is vulnerable to a Japanese-style inflation shock , and reveals why he believes "gold is the new gold."
