Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Very good, welcome everyone.
Welcome to this LSE event, the LSE this evening.
My name is Ricardo Faus and I'm the AW Phillips Chair in Economics at the LSE.
I am very, very pleased to welcome Professor Kenneth Rogoff today.
Ken is the Moritz-Bowes professor at Harvard University.
And he is here to give us a lecture based on his recent book, Our Dollar,
Your Problem and Insider's View of Seven Turbulent Decades of Global Finance in the Road Ahead.
A few announcements.
First, for the social media users, the hashtag for today's event is hashtag LSE events.
And the event is being recorded and should be made available soon,
subject to no technical difficulties.
Kenny will speak for a little while, then we will open it to questions from the floor,
so you will have your chance to put questions.
For the online audiences,
please submit your questions via the Q&A feature at the top left of your screen,
and I will submit those questions myself.
When you do ask questions, please let us know your name and affiliation,
and we are particularly keen to hear from students and alumni, so please let us know.
