A fascinating discussion of economics and politics with Ivy Tech Economics Professor Rob Larson. From the initial question of “should the United States have bailed out AIG” the discussion is on the ramifications of economic policy on our lives. Microeconomics is discussed, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that basically allows “price-fixing’, to globalization and its effects both here in the United States and world-wide, (which includes environmental issues such as the massive mile-thick atmospheric brown cloud that covers most of Asia half the year) this is an informative and provacative economics discussion you will not want to miss. Professor Larson concludes the interview with a call for ‘public oversight’ of economics issues such as off-shoring and neoliberal globalization. Our livelihoods, and in fact, our very existence is at stake.
