How I Understand Economics


Max Keiser is wildly brilliant. He does these podcasts with Stacy Herbert, who is also wildly brilliant, from Paris, where they currently live and work. If you want to start really getting the bailout, the financial crisis, any of this stuff that's happening with the economy right now, this is the place to go. The more you listen to these two, the more you want to hear. He has a delightfully insane sense of humor, she's got an uber cool vibe.

Max started his career on Wall Street in 1983. He is a financial expert, Prediction Markets inventor, documentary film maker, and the creator of the Hollywood Stock Exchange which is some sort of full scale prediction market. (I am not too savvy economically speaking.) He writes for Huffington Post, appears on programs in London and France, one program is called "Al Jazeera", and he produces and presents lots of films. He will be presenting BBC World's "The Oracle with Max Keiser"on the 19th of this month.

Listen to program 1004 on Max Keiser Radio Titled GD2 Brought to You by Kraft. I promise you it will be an exceptional 25 minutes. If it's your first sampling of this stuff, lucky you! It is not the first post on the page. You should be able to scroll down to find it. If you go later, check for it in the archives. Watch out! They are totally addictive.
