ON DEMOCRACY, FINANCE, AND DEBT

This is a great video (H/T Barry Ritholtz). It features an interview with Michael Hudson, a professor at University of Missouri, Kansas City. He's a former Wall St. insider, and he served as Chief Economic Advisor for Dennis Kucinich’s 2008 presidential campaign, also holding the same position in Kucinich’s Congressional campaign. Hudson speaks about debt, oligarchy, democracy, and historical antecedents to our economic woes.
