Banter #61: All Things Debt

Jun21st
2012 1 Comment Written by Andrew

In the final installment of the Banter podcast’s Road to Freedom series, AEI President Arthur Brooks and Michael Strain sit down to discuss sources and solutions for the US debt problem. How large is the debt? What’s driving it? How can we solve it? Arthur and Michael present not only a detailed understanding of the debt, but why our concern for the underprivileged must drive political leaders towards a long term solution. Andrew also struggles to refrain from saying “excited” too often.

How can you create jobs and make the economy grow? In this edition of the AEI podcast, Banter, hosts Stu James and Andrew Rugg sit down AEI senior fellow Kevin Hasset to examine jobs and economic growth. We take a close look at exactly what unemployment statistics cover and what they miss. Kevin also explains the long term effects of unemployment, the role of regulation on job growth, and the effects of government growth on private sector growth. We also take a hard look at what lessons we can learn from Europe.  Last, Andrew and Stu ruminate on a business literature book that is screaming to be written.
