This week on Radio Liberty, James and Dr. Stan discuss the fallout in the Eurozone over the Italian political wrangling of recent days and the ongoing Greek crisis, as well as Japan’s moves to raise consumption taxes to “save the economy” and the ongoing shutdown brouhaha in the US. They also take your calls on a variety of topics, from moves to supplant the dollar as a world reserve to the persistent rumor that the Fed will end on its 100th anniversary.
