It seems that our economy, debt and personal finance has been at the forefront of the media and the public’s minds recently. Maybe this is because of the current economic situation in the United State or maybe it is because the U.S. Government is up against the current debt ceiling. Whatever the reason, we felt that it would be good to get some insight into what is really going on…and who better to get that than from economist Robert P. Murphy Ph.D.
Patrick Donohoe joins Robert P. Murphy Ph.D. in discussing the many issues the American economy is facing today and potentially in the future.
