Edward sits down with Warren Mosler – president of Valance Co., Inc. and chairman of Consulier Engineering. Warren tells us the EU’s approach to the Greek debt crisis has failed to lift the Greek economy. He explains the difference between a currency issuer and a currency user and warns that Greece cannot maximize its negotiating leverage given its insistence that it will not exit the eurozone. If Mosler were to negotiate on Greece’s behalf, all options would be on the table, as he believes the potential for Greece to manifest currency issuer status best allows it to fulfil public purpose and return Greece to economic health.
