Interview with Michael Hudson
By Mike Whitney
30/06/08 "ICH" -- - "Our tax laws have shaped the marketplace to favor the debt-financed buying and selling of real estate, stocks and bonds rather than new direct investment. Advocates of this financialization of saving and investment depict it as a viable mode of wealth creation, but the effect is simply to de-industrialize the United States. And this is the tragedy of our economy today." Michael Hudson
