With Max Keiser on the history of debt from the Bronze Age onwards. Max poses the question, has a historical precedent been set with the bailing out of creditors, not debtors in 2008?
Keiser Report: Reality of Creditor Jubilees (E1278)
RT on Sep 11, 2018
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy look at the question of “whether or not China has what it takes to be a superpower?” In the second half, Max interviews Dr. Michael Hudson, the author of the soon to be released book, “…and forgive them their debts: Lending, Foreclosure and Redemption — From Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year.” They discuss the new – or not so new? – reality of creditor jubilees in which investors’ bad investment decisions are made whole and why it has always instead been the debtor who has rightfully been given a clean slate.
