Abstract: In Ecuador, we believed that the story of how we came to dollarize our economy had been told in detail, but 15 years later, I discovered that a key chapter was missing from our newspapers and history books; the role played by two American economists, Steve Hanke and Kurt Schuler, who traveled the world promoting a radical plan to stop inflation and achieve stability: to abolish central banks in emerging market countries.
