What if the most dangerous thing in the global economy isn’t a shock — but the quiet collapse of the frameworks we still rely on?
In this rare, unfiltered conversation, Kenneth Rogoff — Harvard professor and former IMF Chief Economist — joins Kevin Coldiron to confront the reality that’s too uncomfortable for most policymakers to admit:
The world has changed. The models haven’t.
Rogoff explores what happens when inflation refuses to respond, debt compounds beneath the surface, AI reshapes productivity, and geopolitics redraws the map — while central banks keep playing by yesterday’s rules.
This isn’t a call for panic. It’s a call for intellectual honesty.
Because in a world where the past no longer explains the present, clarity is the only edge that matters.
If you manage capital — or ideas — in a world built on assumptions, this episode is for you.
