Joseph Stiglitz - Stimulus Fraud

Democracy NOW! - DN! - We are joined by Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz - American economist and professor at Columbia University. Author of Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy now in paperback. As the Obama administration rejects a foreclosure moratorium and austerity protests grip Europe, we assess the state of the US and global economy with Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, author of Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy. Stiglitz backs calls for a foreclosure moratorium and says opponents of a new government stimulus "don't understand basic economics." On war, Stiglitz says Iraq and Afghanistan are "the first wars in America's history financed totally on the credit card."
