Greece needs to strike a deal with its creditors by the end of the month to stay afloat. That’s what the Greek government has said despite the fact that the country has entered yet another week with no signs of securing a deal in sight. News emerged on Monday that Greece came close to defaulting on a €750 million repayment to the International Monetary Fund last week. Boom Bust guest host Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Ameera sits down with Steve Keen – head of the School of Economics, History & Politics at Kingston University. Steve tells us why one can’t divine exactly why yields all over the world (with the exception of Greece and Brazil) rose in the last month. Dr. Keen explains that even if yields do rise, they create a self-limiting dynamic by slowing growth, which lowers growth again. Steve also explains what happens to credit growth under such circumstances.
After the break, Bianca Facchinei gives us a look at other major business stories of the day including a potential $200 million Amtrak payout, suspicious civil asset forfeiture, Facebook news, and summer travel.
Afterwards, Erin sits down with Peter Schiff – CEO of Euro Pacific Capital and host of “The Peter Schiff Show.” Peter tells why Greece won’t become the “free-market paradise” of Europe, like Singapore or Hong Kong in Asia. He also gives us his take on China’s economy.
And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison discuss Saudi Arabia’s oil strategy targeting US shale oil producers.

The automotive scandal involving Mitsubishi grows larger and larger in Japan as its president announces his resignation. And analysts at Goldman Sachs downgraded global equities to ‘neutral’ and suggesting investors raise cash. Boom Bust host Ameera David reports. Then Boom Bust’s Bianca Facchinei details how smugglers made $6 billion from illegal migrant trafficking to the EU last year. Afterwards, RT correspondent Ashlee Banks reports on how the Obama Administration is now making millions of Americans eligible for overtime pay.
After the break, Edward Harrison sits down with Gerald Friedman, economics professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Gerald says that Obamacare only offers “mild tweaks” to the existing healthcare system. And he says that system is not based on free-market competition but on adverse selection, leading to poor outcomes. He also gives his view on the issue of minimum wages. And in today’s Big Deal, Ameera and Edward discuss why the Saudis are using the oil weapon so aggressively and whether they will also resort to dumping US Treasury bonds. In addition, the two discuss Goldman’s call to rein in risk and raise cash.
