Ken Rogoff Forecasts "Currency Chaos" in 2011

Continuing the 'chaos' theme, thoughts on how various currencies will fare in 2011 can be found here from Ferguson's Harvard colleague Professor Ken Rogoff, author of This Time is Different.

Note to U.S. dollar bears: Rogoff points out that the U.S. dollar's "purchasing power is already scraping along at a fairly low level globally – indeed, near an all-time low, according to the Fed’s broad dollar exchange-rate index. Thus, normal re-equilibration to “purchasing power parity” should give the dollar slight upward momentum."
