• Top economist Steve Hanke doubled down on views that Argentina should adopt the US dollar as its currency. 
• With inflation soaring at 113.4%, the John Hopkins University professor said Argentina should mothball its central bank and dollarize. 
• His views echo those of Argentina's presidential candidate, who also called for ditching the peso to rein in inflation. 

Argentina should "mothball" its central bank and adopt the greenback as its currency as red-hot inflation rages through the country, top economist Steve Hanke said.
