Jim also gives his view on the US, European, Japanese and Chinese economies -- and the Gold Standard.

On Sunday, Greek voters handed power to the anti-austerity Syriza party, whose main “objective” is overhauling the bitter economic reforms’ that Greece has had to suffer through since the recession. Since first seeking a bailout in 2010, Greece has initiated broad economic overhauls and cutbacks that have helped mend its public finance following six years of deep recession. But those cutback have come at a cost: some 25% of Greeks remain jobless while a quarter of all households live close to the poverty line. Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin sits down with Marshall Auerback, director of institutional partnerships at the Institute for New Economic Thinking and research associate at the Levy Economics Institute. Marshall tells us what the Syriza party winning in Greece means for Europe and gives us his take on whether Greece should default or leave the Eurozone.
After the break, Erin is joined by Richard Werner, director of international development and the founding director of the Centre for Banking, Finance and Sustainable Development at the University of Southampton. Richard talks to us about how central banks work and tells us how the term “quantitative easing,” which he coined in the early 1990s, has been wrongly interpreted and executed over the last decade.
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward Harrison continue the discussion on Greece. Take a look!

Edward takes a look.
