Kenneth S. Rogoff, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund and now a professor at Harvard quoted at the New York Times,
``We’re entering a really fierce global recession. A significant financial crisis has been allowed to morph into a full-fledged global panic. It’s a very dangerous situation. The danger is that instead of having a few bad years, we’ll have another lost decade.”
Mr. Rogoff adds, “If you print enough money, you can create inflation.”
