Sorry to run this again, but I just love the moment when he says, "Well, Goldman Sachs are scum". Watch the Shitty Deal reel, and then watch Kaiser again.
Keiser is a bomb thrower and is actually of the left, as near as I can tell, taking into account the 'left' is a term which is antiquated. His heated rhetoric is at root political, not financial. Such rhetoric is necessary politically but it may be futile. Economically it is a bit trickier. It's tricky because there is no cure for our economic disease. All of us in the developed world are going to be poorer. The only issue is are the mega rich going to stay mega rich or are they going to lose a lot of it and their power too. I would say the jury is out but favors the mega rich because they are of corporations and corporations are a seemingly unbeatable historic force. Inexorably taking over from government.
Since I spend most of the year in Greece, I watch Max Keiser on RT.TV. You can watch him online at rt.com.
He may be a lefty, what's wrong with that, but he's also pretty damn smart about this stuff and he's a damn sight more entertaining than anyone on CNBC or Richard Quest on CNN.
you know what would be fun and informative? Get those guys and a couple of Greek economists together again for an encore interview on Goldman Sachs... I'll bet the French guy defending GS would be calling them worse than scum, you might not be able to air what the Greek guys would say...
