[470] The Valeant scandal and Steve Keen on China and Portugal
The European Union cuts its Eurozone growth forecast for 2016. Despite this being the third year of consecutive growth for the European Union, growth is slow and will slow even further. Ameera David weighs in. Ameera also highlights a new smart Gmail feature that will be able to scan your email and offer quick replies. Then, Ameera and RT correspondent Manuel Rapalo update their earlier discussion on Airbnb’s fight in to stay legal in San Francisco and discuss Expedia’s $3.9 billion deal to buy Airbnb competitor HomeAway. Afterwards, Paul Craig Roberts gives us his take on the elimination of two popular social security claiming measures, part of his interview with Boom Bust’s Bianca Facchinei that will air Friday.
After the break, Boom Bust’s Edward Harrison sits down with Steve Keen, head of economics, history, and politics at Kingston University to get his thoughts on the path forward for China, emerging markets, and the global economy, as well as to assess whether politics in Portugal are radicalizing. And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison talk about the scandal surrounding former stock darling Valeant Pharmaceuticals.
In the new abnormal economic age birthed in the wake of COVID-19, commodities are set to surge in the coming months. But how will other sectors perform? We are joined by an expert panel to bring us up to speed on market performance at this point and what could lie just over the horizon. And as millions of people in the United States are still without a job due to the coronavirus restrictions, Congress has failed to produce stimulus measures in its latest effort. RT America’s own Scottie Nell Hughes joins the program to analyze the latest congressional stall and the state of the recovery. Plus, after rounds of positive press for Amazon's stance on price-gouging, the company now finds itself facing heat for the very same practices. Investigative journalist Ben Swann lends us a hand to break down the accusations against the e-commerce behemoth and how Amazon's dominance has led to mass dissatisfaction.
