Today's show is about Europe.
For years, European banks have run operations on much thinner capital requirements than their American counterparts. And with new US financial regulatory rules set to kick in soon, European banks are looking for ways to skirt the new laws. Banks are considering buying their subsidiaries' debt, selling assets or moving into offshore legal structures outside the US. Erin Ade reports.
Then, Erin talks to Mike "Mish" Shedlock about what's happening in Europe. Mish writes a widely read blog called "MISH'S Global Economic Trend Analysis" in which he looks at all the important global macro issues -- including Europe.
Afterwards, everyone is saying Europe is in a recovery. Manufacturing data has been positive. And GDP data too. Bond yields in Spain are at record lows and foreign investors are coming back in to Portugal, Spain and Greece. But is this just a base effect? Yanis Varoufakis, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Texas, Austin gives his view.
Wrapping up our European theme, in today's "Big Deal", Erin and Boom Bust producer Edward Harrison discuss the return of foreign investment to Portugal and the improvement in the housing market there. Can Portugal leave its bailout program free and clear? It is a possibility.

In an effort to find the cash necessary to keep his country afloat, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras ordered local governments to move their funds to the central bank on Monday. According to people familiar with the decision, the decree to confiscate reserves – now held in commercial banks – and transfer them to the central bank could raise about €2 billion. With negotiations over bailout aid currently deadlocked, Tsipras very much needs cash for salaries, pensions, and a repayment to the IMF. Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin is joined by Richard Heinberg – senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute and author of “Afterburn: Society Beyond Fossil Fuels.” Richard tells us why it matters that conventional oil production peaked. He also opens on whether the glut in output from tight oil formations is going to last and what impact that situation will have on oil prices over the next two years.
After the break, Bianca gives us a news update on other business headlines of the day including earnings, the California drought, and corporate tax reform.
Afterwards, Ameera sits down with Bryan Caplan – professor of economics at George Mason University and blogger at EconLog. Bryan explains his frustrating with voting and gives us his take on why a surprising number social science professors identify with Marxism.
