TPMtv: A Talk With Adam Posen

[annarboriter]

The parallels between the Vegas strip and Wallstreet are becoming sharper. But isn't this the final act of the process of paying the wealthy the wages of the working class started by Reagan?

we need to get the property they own and give it to the people -

ALL of these interviews are saying the SAME thing in this series.

The whole idea of a series on a subject matter is to give DIFFERENT points of view. You are only talking to Keynesian economist. Whom if you ever bothered to look the term up, are the problem in the first place.

So very sad TPM

There isn't enough economic understanding in the world for people to even know what questions to ask. Any other sphere of knowledge, we would call this a problem.

there seems to be a problem.

it stops playing right as the topic "failure of western countries" begins (0:59) - needed to download it to watch it.

am i the only one or is someone else experiencing the same?

Great job TPM! I love these webcam interviews with the experts.

I found this video very concisely and clearly explained analysis of the economic crisis.

You guys are some of the best journalists out there. Keep up the good work!

Well how do you save no assets ? ..Basically the FEB backed The short-term securities that the banks used to help refund and keep their SIV's that were issued, afloat.

How do you save "borrowed money"? When private short-term securities dried up, the FED overnight Fund keep there Long term paper alive. Then there was a run on money market accounts until FDIC stepped in to back stop and prevent busting the" Buck".

Now, the unemployed are pulling down their CD's & MM's to live on, what now ?

[achampag]

very nice! great sound on both sides and it looks so much better...

good interview too

Hey Kurtz, do us a favor, back off the zoom on your webcam a bit. It seems weird that your face is always larger than your guests.
