graeber and henwood in bklyn

in case you're in bklyn

Quote:
We’ll be joined by two guests to discuss the role of debt in the world economy: author and radio show host Doug Henwood, an expert on bubble economics and Wall Street, and anthropologist David Graeber, who has just published a history of debt from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day, Debt: The First 5,000 Years.

Wow,

I'd hardly call Henwood an "expert in bubble economics". As I recall, when Wall Street was building up the real estate bubble, the only thing he was complaining about was banks having too high fees.

i wouldn't call henwood an expert in anything. i tried his left business review, and it left me none the wiser, in addition to being wildly unreliable in production. but i thought graeber's appearance might be of interest to some.
