It's always a pleasure to be joined by US Based, Russian-Irish Economist, Constantin Gurdgiev, even if the topics tend to be a bit bleak.

We discuss the ECB's creative accounting and handling of the Italian debt crisis. We ask are the FED and ECB trying to manufacture a recession via a policy of 'what's bad is good' and we look at what it means for society and climate action. Another cracking chat with a great voice.
