Carmen Reinhart, an American finance economist, is a Professor of the International Financial System at the Kennedy School of Government. With co-author Kenneth Rogoff she published This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly (Princeton University Press, 2009). For David Warsh, proprietor of economicprincipals.com, Reinhart “persuaded a wide range of professional economists that the US economy was in for a terrific shaking—nine months before the banking crisis began”.
