L. Randall Wray — L. Randall Wray interviewed by Ian Masters on KPFK FM-90.7 - Los Angeles

Economist Randall Wray joins us for a macro-economic analysis of adverse economic trends at home and abroad amid dire predictions of a double-dip recession in the U.S. and defaults in Europe.

Marshall Auerback — “How Japan Will Bounce Back” - Radio Free Dylan (Mar 18, 2011)

Marshall Auerback —  “How Japan Will Bounce Back” - Radio Free Dylan (Mar 18, 2011)

Episode 41: How Japan Will Bounce Back with Marshall Auerback

What does the earthquake mean to Japan’s fiscal future? Will one of the possible ripple effects of the disaster in Japan be a period of meaningful economic growth? Is the correct response to an environment of deprived economic activity to cut, or is it to invest and spend?

Whether to cut or whether to spend is a raging debate, not only in Japan, but one that is active in our own country as well. Listen in as Dylan talks with Marshall Auerback about how Japan and the U.S. can begin to allocate capital in a way that solves problems, ultimately bringing advancement in infrastructure, society, and social structure.

The national debt is growing. Lawmakers and experts are asking the question — what do we do about the biggest expenses of our government; Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and defense spending? 63 percent of the 2010 federal budget went to these programs. Do we have to start making sacrifices?

L. Randall Wray is an economics professor at University of Missouri–Kansas City. He believes the deficit concerns are hysteria, and massive cuts will only worsen the problem. His focus is on growing the economy.
