Is that the same Kenneth Rogoff who co-authored a study about "Growth in a Time of Debt" which turned out to be full of faked data? And, curiously, EU/ECB/MMF (the infamous "Troika") and, most prominently, Germany based their "austerity" measures towards South European countries on that very study - which practically and conveniently provided the alibi for their crimes.
"Curiously" only the first sight: This guy is a member of the "Group of Thirty", a group "founded in 1978 by Geoffrey Bell at the initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation" and supported (http://group30.org/about/supporters http://group30.org/about/supporters) by the very profiteers of austerity.
And now he writes about "The Curse of Cash".
Should we believe him this time as well? Do we really know, who's interests he's serving?
