US Politics

Thanks for that. It's reassuring seeing someone put together a cogent explanation for why so many aspects of western economic, social and political life are unsustainable. Depressing that we seem to be marching straight towards crisis after crisis.

This was great, watched the follow up lecture that he refers to with Marco Buti from the EU Commission... Was expecting Blyth to tear into Buti afterwards but Buti seemed surprisingly human, seemed there was some compassion as well as common ground there... The EU is fucked unless the north shares its prosperity with the south, sure, there have been governance and administrative issues and national politics will always get in the way of EU fiscal policy but they can't expect to punish the economies that are struggling without horrific political consequences further down the road... #csb
