Both the Greek government and its creditors have said they need to reach an outline agreement, at the very least, at their next meeting on April 24. But Greece has yet to produce a plan for reforms deemed acceptable. Boom Bust guest host Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Edward joins us after his attendance at a special Brookings Institution event where the finance ministers from Greece and Germany spoke, following the annual spring meetings for both The World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

John tells us if Europe can sustain the triple digit debt loads in Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Portugal, given its anemic growth and he gives us his take on how the Greek government will decide between its domestic constituency and its international creditors.
After the break, Bianca gives us a daily news roundup on other headlines including a report on earnings, Ben Bernanke’s new job, and a glitter-filled ECB protest by young but veteran German activist protester Josephine Witt.
