[295] Greece is the perfect example of debt deflation
On Thursday, Germany rejected Greece’s proposal for a six-month extension to its Eurozone loan agreement. Germany said that the proposal was “not a substantial solution” because it didn’t obligate Athens to stick to the conditions of its international bailout. As the biggest creditor and EU paymaster, Germany has the clout to block a deal which would leave Greece without a financial lifeline and potentially put it towards an exit from the Eurozone. Erin weighs in.
Then, Edward sits down with Dr. Pippa Malmgren – founder of DRPM Group and author of “Signals: The Breakdown of the Social Contract and the rise of Geopolitics." Dr. Malmgren gives us her take on the possibility of a Greek default and its potential effects. Pippa believes that the voting public in Greece and elsewhere in the periphery has become radicalized after years of economic hardship. She sees this as one big reason that Greece could eventually exit the Eurozone. Pippa also gives cogent analyses of shrinkflation, the downsizing of portion sizes in retail packaging to increase margins, as well as the UK trade data and what they mean for the upcoming UK elections.
After the break, Erin is joined by Steve Keen – head of the School of Economics, History, and Politics at Kingston University and author behind “Steve Keen’s Debtwatch.” Steve tells us that new Greece finance minister Yanis Varoufakis is not as radical as some make him out to be and gives us his take on the rest of the periphery. He believes that the situation in Greece is a textbook case of debt deflation and proves how destructive pro-cyclical cuts to government spending are for an economy. Dr. Keen goes further and suggests that the rest of the periphery is still not out of the woods. He believes even France is at risk economically.
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward Harrison continue the discussion on Greece and the turmoil surrounding the German Finance Minister’s rejection of Greece’s proposal to extend its loan agreements. Take a look!

On Tuesday, the US and EU expanded sanctions against Russia to punish Moscow’s adamant stance on Ukraine. For the West, the big question now is whether these latest sanction will make President Putin more corporative or just prompt him to dig his heels even harder. Erin takes a look.
Next, Erin talks to Axel Merk, president and CEO of Merk Funds, about second quarter GDP numbers, real interest rates, inflation, and wages.
After the break, Erin shifts gears to speak with Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, to get his take on the GDP numbers and the US recovery.
And finally in today’s Big Deal, Erin sits down with Edward Harrison to get his understanding of the US recovery and the continuing weakness in our economy.

Data released on Wednesday show that consumer prices fell in the Eurozone for the first time since the global financial crisis in 2009. The consensus was that inflation would drop to about 0 or – 0.1%. But in the year to December, consumer prices dropped 0.2%. With oil prices still dwindling, it’s clear that falling consumer price inflation still has further to go. So basically, it’s the decline in oil prices that has pushed inflation over the zero mark. Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin sits down with Dr. Ann Pettifor – senior fellow at the New Economics Foundation and author of "Just Money: How Society Can Break the Despotic Power of Finance." Recently, a shortfall in tax revenue for the UK government has called the ruling coalition's deficit reduction targets into question. Ann tells us whether the British economy is strong enough to meet Chancellor Osborne's deficit targets.
After the break, Erin is joined by Dean Baker – co-director of The Center for Economic and Policy Research and author of the blog Beat the Press. Dean tells us if he thinks the US economy is on the upswing and gives us his take on what Washington can to do make sure growth we’ve seen can benefit middle class Americans.
And in The Big Deal, Edward Harrison gives us a look at some of the hottest products featured at this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Take a look!

234-samuels-says-obama-s-net-neutrality
Our lead story: Detroit filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy in July of 2013. With an estimated $18-20 billion in debt, Detroit is the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in US history. Last Friday, a federal judge approved Detroit’s bankruptcy plan allowing the city to reset and regroup after years of financial mismanagement. In only 16 months, the city managed to work out a plan that will eliminate $7 billion worth of debt. Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin is joined by Julie Samuels – executive director of the Engine Research Foundation – to talk about net neutrality. Julie gives us her take on President Obama’s recent statement defending net neutrality and breaks down his argument.
After the break, Erin sits down with Richard Heinberg – senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute – to discuss oil. Richard tells us how he interprets the potential deal between China and Russia for Western Siberian gas and gives us his take on Saudi price cuts. He believes that the Saudi price cuts could help put the US fracking industry over the edge, making much of the oil from their wells unprofitable.
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward Harrison are continuing the discussion on oil with a particular interest on shale oil capital expenditures and the market for energy high yield bonds. Take a look!

252-a-libertarian-and-a-marxist-response
Our lead story: On Tuesday, Greece’s stock market fell a massive 13% – the worst single day fall since 1987. And the yield on Greek sovereign bonds vaulted up 70 basis points or 7/10ths of a percent in a single day. Greece is back in crisis, and the reason this crisis exists is because none of the issues surrounding Greece’s economy were ever resolved in the first place. Edward weighs in.
Then, Edward sits down with Don Boudreaux, professor of economics at George Mason University and senior fellow at the Mercatus Center. Don gives us his take on why only one percent of midterm voters polled the US economy as “excellent” and why the social mood in America seems weak. He breaks down what the right response to corporatism should be from a market-based approach.
After the break, Edward is joined by Richard Wolff, visiting professor of international affairs at The New School. As Boudreaux’s academic opposite, Wolff gives us a different take on why Americans don’t feel generally positive about the economy. He also expresses his view on how best to deal with big business and big government working together against the interest of citizens.
And in The Big Deal, Edward is joined by RT correspondent Ameera David to discuss Amazon and Facebook’s move into understanding our offline habits. Take a look!

707-at-t-time-warner-merger-faces
AT&T’s $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner faces heavy opposition from rival telecoms and media companies, as well as questions from U.S. antitrust authorities and lawmakers. Also, PSOE , the Socialist Party in Spain, has ended the political impasse there that has prevented Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy from forming a new government. Ameera David reports. France has begun to clear the refugee camp in Calais that has garnered the notorious nickname ‘The Jungle.’ Bianca Facchinei has the details. Then, Manuel Rapalo examines the $6.5 billion stake HNA has taken in the hotel chain Hilton.
After the break, Steve Hanke, professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, discusses whether the picture for the oil sector is improving and what this means for Saudi Arabia and Nigeria in particular. And finally, in The Big Deal, Edward Harrison brings charts and statistics to bear on the question of whether the US economy is at full employment.
