In this interview podcast, Dwarkesh speaks with Ken Rogoff, a Harvard professor and former chief economist at the IMF, about China's economic challenges, leadership competence, and potential future crises, drawing from Rogoff's experiences and insights from his book. The conversation covers the shift in Chinese leadership under Xi Jinping, the country's over-investment in infrastructure and housing, and the need for a more consumer-driven economy. They also discuss the potential for financial crises in the US, the role of the Federal Reserve, and the future of the dollar as a global reserve currency, as well as alternative investment strategies.
