As James returns from his summer holiday, he re-joins Alfred Adask for their weekly conversation on Financial Survival. This week they discuss the “resolution” of the Greek crisis, the growing panic over the liquidity crisis in the bond market, and whether or not the Iranian “deal” is actually a treaty.

Thanks for the kind words. It was exhausting, but obviously it was good to introduce my son to the family. We had a great time.
The whole “advice and consent” of the Senate in regards to the ratifying of a Treaty is mighty humorous. The reason it was constructed that way was to keep matters of international trade and other affairs out of the hands of “uneducated” and “thoroughly unprincipled” men (read anyone who wasn’t in the aristocracy). It’s no coincidence that members of the Senate were elected by the governing bodies of each state under the Constitution all the way up until 1913.
In a way it makes sense though. I mean, why would the ruling elites of Europe (and elsewhere) want to break bread with a bunch of American farmers and shippers? They wouldn’t…
Good to have you back James!
