Hahnel on economic meltdown, Greece and North America

Program Title: Latin Waves interviews Robin Hahnel
Description: Robin Hahnel has taught political economy at American University for 30 years. He has co-authored, along with Michael Albert, numerous books on participatory economics. Robin has been active in many social movements and organizations beginning with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the anti-Vietnam war movement in the 1960s, and most recently with the Southern Maryland Greens and Green Party USA. His most recent books include Economic Justice and Democracy and Green Economics: Confronting the Ecological Crisis.

Robin Hanhel speaks to Latin Waves of the imminent default of Greece's nearly a half-trillion dollars of outstanding debt obligations. This would be a catastrophe for Greece, for its European creditor banks and for financial institutions everywhere. We discuss the connections of the crisis to the austerity measures imposed on Greece almost a year ago. What about Canada and the US who continue to promote a neoliberal market fundamentalist approach to the crisis?
