Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Mark Blyth, Brown University Eastman Professor of Political Economy, speaks to the AUP community on the future of the Eurozone. Professor Blyth is the acclaimed author of the 2012 book "Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea". His talk addresses some of the challenging questions facing the European Union and by definition the global economy. Will Greece emerge from the insolvency ward of the monetary hospice? Is the future of the euro secure? What about the Eurozone itself? What are the various economic and political factors at play? Hear from a renowned international economist on this very timely and important topic. This version of the event includes the slides from his presentation.

This man is the most brilliant and engaging lecturer I've ever seen. I can't imagine another giving such a detailed presentation on economics (of which I have an amateur interest) as engrossing as this. It's enough to tempt me to change my academic focus so that I can apply to Brown for post-graduate work, just to study under his direction. Pure, hilarious, brilliance.

could someone recommend a book on economics that would help understand all this?

@The cameraman: This is not a movie or a documentary; You don't need fancy camera angles or closeup shots of his face. Please keep the camera pointed at the slides so that we can actually see what he's talking about.

So what's the solution? Or are we just screwed, no matter what?

There is a very simple solution for greece nobody has thought of and I don't understand why they didn't do it: invite the whole population to move to germany They run the show anyway. Maybe even offer to pay for the plane ticket for the poorest who cannot afford the move. One of the few perks of the EU is free movement. Just move to the countries that are doing better and set up a parallel society there... Many many non-EU citizens are doing that, so why shouldn't the greeks do the same? People were also invited by their own government to move to america at the beginning of the past century because their countries offered little future prospects. Germany has also a deep demographic problem, so the rest of europe which has record high levels of unemployment should move to germany. That solves the demographic problem for germany and takes care of the unemployed masses in the rest of the EU. Plus germany would finally become the multicultural utopia it aspires to be, where germans are not the majority anymore and the german language is only spoken by few. Problem solved.

What is that word at 10:22? I've tried searching but to no avail. It sounds like "opturious".

I disagree with him on one account- current world economy is very simple system if you base your understanding on Marxism, not on pseudo science which currently called economy. For last 40-50 years total profit of corporations and the rich after taxes > then capital economy need for normal expansion. That mean rich and corporations have too mach money they have nowhere to invest. So, where this money go? 1) lending to governments for governments to spend and keep economy going. 2) lending to consumers for them to spend and keep economy going. 3 property and other fixed assets to give money to population to spend and keep economy going. 4 expand capital markets ( capital expanded in all ex socialists countries at that time). Now all this ways to recycle money is practically finished and world economy entering in infinite cycle of stagflation. The only way to save Capitalism is New deal style of redistribution of wealth + Steep assets and property tax world wide. Any half measures will lead to WW3 and destruction of humanity.

1. Every country which is on a real-estate bubble has gone by that measure full retard,
i.e. not only the Greek, who are being presumed by everybody's default assumption
to have been brain-dead Untermenschen.
2. Spain is a Federation of dissimilar states,
where the north wishes to disavow the south,
much like in Italy.
3. European Cars sell mostly within European-Community (EC),
which is the only trade-block effectively blocking out Japanese imports.
4. Feminism is the mother of all contractions.
