Rob Kall — Paul Craig Roberts Transcript; Part 1-- The Biggest Economic Disaster in History, Globalism, the Undoings of the West


Paul Craig Roberts is an economist — Georgia Institute of Technology (B.A., Economics) University of Virginia and (Ph.D., Economics) — that was an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration and one of the developers of Reaganomics. He has been a consistent critic of the Bush and Obama administrations for violations of rights, as well as for the proliferation of crony capitalism and corruption. At the close of interview he cites Michael Hudson's work on financial capitalism as a factor that is undermining the US economy.

While both Paul Craig Roberts and David Stockman are coming from the right in their criticism, there is agreement on the left among progressives on many points. Many of the issues that David Stockman brought up were anticipated by William K. Black, and Paul Craig Roberts is reading Michael Hudson. Something's up?
