Deeper Dive - DSU's podcast

Greece is running out of money. Will Tsipras keep his election promises to end austerity? Or, is Germany really prepared to let Greece leave the Euro zone. In our most recent podcast, Walker and Professor Dungey discuss the possible end of the road of one of Modernity's most grand economic, social, and political experiments.

Obama promises a middle class tax cut in the State of the Union but his idea is "dead on arrival". Without a strong economy there can be no tax cut and while the President boosts about the strength of the American economy, Nick and Walker think differently.

In this episode we look at the Jan 25th Greek elections and what they mean to the E.U. and the course of finance in Europe in the short term.

In this show, Walker and Professor Dungey discuss President Obama's extradorinary challenge to Congress: "I have a pen and I will us it." What can we expect from President Obama's threat to expand Executive Power? Will the President act on critical economic,social, and legal issues without the authorization of Congress?

In a recent public interview, Tom Perkins made two extraordinary claims: First, only those who pay taxes should be able to vote. And second, there should be a correlation between the amount of taxes you pay and the number of votes you get. His comments were received with a combination of outrage and laughter. Outrage because they reject the essential American value of equality, and laughter because no one "in his or her right mind" would ever take it seriously. In this episode, Professor Dungey argues that what Perkins claims is actually taking place, and that it is built into the very logic of modern liberal political and economic theory. While we at DSU do not advocate Perkin's views, we can identify their operation.
