Rogoff's interview in McKinsey Quarterly-Worth a look

Eminent Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff's latest  McKinsey Quarterly interview (http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Economic_Studies/Productivity_Performance/Understanding_the_Second_Great_Contraction_An_interview_with_Kenneth_Rogoff_2871) on economic contraction is definitely worth a look. Rogoff has written a great book on the history of economic recessions and I had a great opportunity of interacting with him in June 2010 while researching for one of the Outlook Money Anniversary issue articles. It is amazing the amount of data he and his co-author went through to write the book. Ironically, he was in Spain when I interviewed him over mobile phone. The interview was definitely one of the high points of my journalistic career.
