    Transcript at Media Roots

    Also Introductory Blurb

    Quote:
    Recently, Max Keiser discussed on RT the MF Global pillaging scandal, U.S.A.’s eighth largest bankruptcy, and how the Occupy Movement has remained largely silent on the potential rallying call issue due to a lack of financial literacy. Fortunately, Max Keiser, Dr. Michael Hudson, Dr. Richard Wolff, and others have been speaking at Occupy Movement convergences. Perhaps, in U.S.A., we may learn to head off the banker fascism austerity now looming over the Eurozone. Media Roots considers the benefits of our increased collective interest in the dynamics of political economy and international relations, impacting our global regions. In this spirit, we present the second broadcast from Pacifica Radio’s Guns and Butter featuring excerpts of the introductory remarks from radical economist Dr. Alain Parquez at the recent Italian Modern Monetary Theory Summit in Rimini, Italy, February 2012.
