Michael Hudson & John Perkins on Icelandic State Television

The Iceland Weather Report - Sunday, April 5, 2009

The first is an interview with economist and former Wall Street advisor Michael Hudson who has some astonishing things to say about our enormous national debt. It's impossible to sum it up briefly, but basically he makes a very convincing case for Iceland defaulting on its debts — simply because, in his view, we cannot pay. It will be an irrevocable disaster for this nation if we even try — and the crazy thing is that the larger nations that owe colossal amounts — like the United States — have no intention of paying their debts. In Hudson's view, Iceland is being bullied and pressured by its creditors to sign deals and come to arrangements — all so they can gain control of our natural resources. Very very shocking and scary.

The second interview is with a writer named John Perkins, author of the book Confessions of an Economic Hitman. I'd only vaguely heard of the book before I watched this interview and I'm sure many of you out there are better informed about it than I am [it was a NY Times best seller].
