Our take

AI-drafted

Rogoff writes from the position of a former IMF chief economist who has spent decades inside the rooms where dollar policy gets made, and reviewers keep returning to that vantage point as the book's real asset. The throughline critics highlight is his refusal to treat American exceptionalism as a permanent feature: the dollar's dominance survived past shocks less because of inherent superiority than because rivals were worse.
