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) 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?

   their crimes.
Which crimes have you got in mind? The crime of being outvoted on the ECB board and having to bail out everybody?

I guess you're not Greek then or you would know what crimes. I'm not Greek either but I was shocked at what they did to this country.
