Maudlin and Tepper take listeners on a comprehensive, sobering, and even-handed tour through the debt/credit crisis currently gripping the world. They show that the financial mess that seemingly peaked with the crash of Lehman Brothers was merely the 50-year-in-the-making first part of a greater crisis that looms over the horizon. They further outline the tough choices that will have to be made in order to end this cycle of economic stagnation.
