US-China ties continue to chill amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the wake of the “phase one” trade deal; but could a “phase two” deal help to thaw the tension? And as the world has been forced to adapt to the digital workplace, can internet connections meet the moment? We take a deep-dive into the state of US broadband and how teleconferencing is pushing the limits.
TikTok has beat another deadline to stay alive in the United States as a US judge blocks a measure to bar the video sharing app. In London, Uber has won its right to operate in the city yet again for the next year.

in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison continue the discussion on Greece. Key developments include the IMF’s declaration that Greece is insolvent and that the EU will fund a bridge loan to Greece using a bailout fund that some non-Eurozone countries object to using. The anti-EU crowd in Britain is using these events to advance their call for Brexit, Britain’s departure for the Eurozone.

We’re just learning that hackers used an online service run by the Internal Revenue Service to access the personal tax information of more than 100,000 taxpayers. The IRS says it’s all part of an elaborate scheme to steal identities and claim fraudulent tax refunds. Keep in mind, tax returns can include some of our most personal information, including social security numbers, birthdates, number of dependents, spouses, you name it. Boom Bust guest host Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Ameera is joined by Ann Pettifor – director of PRIME Economics and senior fellow of the New Economics Foundation in London. Ann tells us that she thinks the latest wins in Spain and Poland say the mindset of Europeans right now is one dominated by insecurity if not outright job loss. Her take on the anti-establishment trend across Europe is that it results from these factors and has increased the favorability of nationalist parties, buffeting the European project.
After the break, producer Bianca Facchinei gives us a look at other major finance stories of the day including the FIFA investigation, the Chinese Renminbi, Vox and Recode, and the Time Warner Cable purchase.
Afterwards, Ameera and Boom Bust host Erin Ade talk about how Brazil’s economy is expected to contract by nearly one quarter this year in dollar terms. Meanwhile, the corruption scandals at Petrobras weigh on the electorate’s consciousness as the economic downturn in Brazil takes place. Erin tells us how bad Brazil’s finances are right now and what the government is doing in order to restore investor confidence.
And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison continue the discussion on anti-establishment candidates in Europe and what it means for the future.

Our lead story: Citigroup Chief Economist Willem Buiter pointed a loaded gun at gold lovers everywhere when he said the precious metal is in a 6,000-year bubble and likened the commodity to Bitcoin. However, Buiter does concede that until the risk of serious inflation is completely removed in the medium term, gold does remain a pretty solid store of value. So why did Buiter decide to start dropping truth bombs on Monday afternoon? Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin sits down with Mark Buchanan – author, physicist, and columnist at Bloomberg View. Given the downdraft we saw in US stocks in October and the recent decline in oil prices, Mark gives us his take on why markets wobble and tells us about amplification theory and how it explains economic recessions.
After the break, Erin is joined by David Henderson – professor of economics at the Naval Postgraduate School and research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. David gives us his take on the social safety net versus a simple basic income and how central banks could be more effective. And he addresses how monetary policy can be effective in stabilizing economies instead of amplifying booms and busts.
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward Harrison are talking about Europe, Russia, and Turkey. Take a look!
