This episode provides updates on the Fed’s interest rate hike; gun business; and oil economics. We also respond to a listeners’ question about whether it is China that is slowing the world economy. Finally, we have major discussions of Greek and Spanish austerity politics; and how major oil, banking and auto corporations proved why we can (and must) do better than capitalism.
