Robin Hanhel speaks to Latin Waves of the imminent default of Greece's nearly a half-trillion dollars of outstanding debt obligations. This would be a catastrophe for Greece, for its European creditor banks and for financial institutions everywhere. We discuss the connections of the crisis to the austerity measures imposed on Greece almost a year ago. What about Canada and the US who continue to promote a neoliberal market fundamentalist approach to the crisis? latinwaves@gmail.comWed, 13 Jul 2011 11:48:49 +0000
