Episode 74 - Why America? Mass Shootings & White Nationalism Share Roots

On this week’s Global Research News Hour, we showcase a July 2019 interview with financial economist, author and historian Michael Hudson addressing the financial instruments utilized by the United States to retain its post World War II position of dominance on the world stage, and ways in which foreign economies can survive the looming implosion of the U.S. The conversation also addresses the decisions made by Canadian governments to abandon the Bank of Canada as the country’s lender of choice and the prospects of progressive political candidates and popular movements  to pull the U.S. out of its death spiral. 

Michael Hudson is a prominent U.S. critical economist and President of The Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends (ISLET), a Wall Street Financial Analyst and a Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.
