Subject: re: A Warning on China Seems Prescient
To: "letters@nytimes.com"
To the Editor:
If we are to lionize professor Rogoff when one of his warnings hits the mark, we must keep track of his record, and when he was wrong. We learned years ago (http://www.peri.umass.edu/
that professor Rogoff always diagnoses "excessive debt", even when his own data don't support it. To a reader who keeps track, professor Rogoff looks less like a prophet and more like the little boy who cried "wolf".
