6:05 am
adam and i both have it today. it's friday. show some budget taxpayer discipline. just do something as markets gyrate and yields crater, do something. economists have seen this before in 1932 and the professor of "do something" at dartmouth is aclaimed for his classic wage curve. he does not like austerity and he joins us this morning as well. richard farley with us as well. we will talk. >> he has a practice in do something? >> yes. >> if you go back to the early 1930's the original quantitative easing was when roosevelt bought gold and it was like the assistant secretary of the treasury resigned and they brought in an unknown. >> there's a debate we see your work with the bank of england swharible. hi and
6:06 am
>> the mood music is moving towards investment spending. larry has joined the fight saying infrastructure spending is a free lunch. >> it's the free lunch no one can seem to get going. there's the desire to do it but not the will power. >> how do you get the congress to agree on anything? remember they had it tied to tax presm and the tax break to recreate the the money was going to recreate that. >> professor, you have been world class out front. on austerity on slow g.d.p. what else, olivia? >> the labor markets. >> yes. >> and wage inflation and dartmouth hockey. >> do something, do something. >> harvard does that. dartmouth doesn't. but seriously, what is the urgency right now? or are we going to get more yes, ma'amering? >> well, the fiscal policy is
6:07 am
still pushing down on growth and monetary policy is struggling. and europe is a really big problem. we have deflation. 10 countries are in deflation. so unless we do something in europe, i think contagion is really gaining strength. so look at the europe area as a big problem. and i think it's a really big problem, but we have been saying this for six years now. >> so what is going to change? draghi's speech was recovery versus reform. >> the way i characterize it. when i was at the bank of england we started to cut rates in october of 2008 2008 and realized you had to do qe and did it in about six months. six years in the e.c.b. still hasn't worked it out. it says something about the structure of that bank. a, how to do it let alone whether or not they should do it. >> or whether or not they have the way to do it.
6:08 am
>> but you've had six years to prepare for this day. there's no excuse to say we don't know how. >> is that the problem with a fractured banking system? >> well, the ability of the e.c.b. to respond to things quickly, you can't get enough translaters in the right place. so i think it's just an indicator of look at the markets. you have a firm that's flexible and one that isn't. that's what we're seeing. >> is it true americans watching this. we look at peting after meeting after meeting in europe and we're just waiting for that do something. within your reading of economic history, what will be the catalyst to get something going in europe? >> well, i think the catalyst we're starting to see now is what actually happens to germany? we've seen this very troubling day of exports and prediction. i think germany is really the catalyst.
6:09 am
>> are they in recession? >> looks to me that they are close to it. >> is that because of russia? >> partly because of russia but also because of what's happening to the countries around it that have been killed by this austerity. so we have overly -- monetary policy. >> and the question for olivia. the social maven you were in london, what is the knock effect on london right now? russia with a ruble well out over 40, what are you hearing? >> property prices in may fair in bell graveya are perhaps finally coming down a little bit. >> looks like they have turned. >> where's may fair? >> the fanciest part of london. lings 70th and fifth it's where all the foreign ole guards live. it's the $100 million-pound town homes, the top end of the market. >> so do they have a wood-burning fire place? >> at least a dozen. >> monetary policy is one size fits all.

london has a booming housing market and nowhere else in the country does and they don't know what to do about it. >> richard, with all this talk about weakening in europe, your wheelhouse is helping companies fund lbo's. is this emanating with the boom we've seen over the past few months? >> if the interest rates say stay low, that's a positive. if equity comes down that's -- if you look at this. it really is neutral/positive to lbo activity. >> neutral to positive? >> yes. >> even in what appears to be a melting europe? >> well, as equity comes down that's -- that is -- the regulatory issues on leverage have been the two, the goldman report from two weeks ago laid it out effectively. >> adam, you nailed this 20

6:15 am
criticized many c.e.o.'s and boards and i do believe one of e problems of the country is you have a problem with the system and but there's good c.e.o.'s and he's one of them. >> i understand he wants more money sand trying to manipulate mr. cook of trying to do that. but does he run the risk of manipulating markets with this? >> i'm looking at this live and i don't see how sending an activist and sending a letter as activists do is a manipulation. >> wishful thinking, right? i'd like my holdings to get higher, so i'm going to go out and buy stock and get in a bully pulpit and try to get him to do something? >> and the real issue is the bully pulpit to use television
6:16 am
and one way so get a pushback. this is a matt lavin, absolutely brilliant if you're in global wall street it's must-read. the market will move faster than apple and the market doesn't have to hold board meetings or consult its lawyers so by the time it acts on this, it disappears. the most interesting thing in his essay, adam, is the letter should have been private. he should have just sent it to mr. cook. >> also to blanchflower's point. >> shannon cross says look the market prices are puffy. at 101. she is at $163 in x number of years. so this is -- >> his view is that it's an ecosystem. so he said it's not as if you

6:18 am
and take whatever actions they feel are in the best interest of the shareholders. so they are under no fiduciary obligations to act otherwise. >> fund managers are going to be with it and all the big money managers should be buying it up? >> yes. matt lavin. brilliant. really like it should be an essay in the sea of -- it nails the prisoners delemya. >> the crucial thing is the talk it didn't seem to respond. perhaps they bought a line of it but they didn't believe a word of it. >> well, it works for the first few lines. >> away from the innovation of the shareholder activism, coming up an interview with elon music the chairman of a small car company, tesla. look for that "in the loop" elon music trotting out.

to olivia's point. you say it's supposed to demrip over to a benefit. can you give us a month and year when that happen seasons? >> no. >> it's that hard? >> it's that hard. it will take a considerable time to borrow a phrase. >> to borrow a phrase. i mean, we're seeing absolutely no improvement in labor share. we're seeing no evidence of wage growth anywhere around the world, period. none. >> one of the real trouble spots with the labor economy is the underemployment rate. do you think advancements in technology has been driving that? >> no. i think it's a lack of de3457bd. standard canes and response people are struggling with their wages. they don't -- to stick with the job they are in but would like more hours. >> so it means i would like more hours because my pay is so low. if there were more demands from
6:25 am
firms that would go away. it's simple. >> and by the way all the low rates in the world won't necessarily stism late people buy stuff. >> absolutely. because my view is well known. monetary policy is having to fight with fiscal policy around the world, especially in europe. both of them are actually pushing down on demand. no evidence anywhere of pressure for wages. none. >> there's certainly a lot of pressure in europe. this thing is a brick. peggy noonan. pick that up. like any of us have time to read that. peggy noonan in the "wall street journal" going after him saying is worthy fights really worthy? answering a problem of which? mindless be partisanship. in pennetta's book you mostly

6:34 am
perspective from london. how are the london markets taking the squabble between mr. draghi and mr. schaeuble of germany? >> not well. al markets not taking it well at all on the realization of bad news is bad news. when we talk about the squabble between wolfgang schaeuble and mario draghi, i think they are speaking from the same sheet. getting reform through the likes of italy and they want to see an effort. it's not happening and the question mark of the e.c.b. to stimulate this economy is also at the forefront. >> what are we looking for through the weekend? are we looking for comments to stabilize the markets? what will we search for as we try to get to monday? >> i don't think the i.m.f. is going to stabilize the markets. the only people with the ability to stabilize the market

within europe is one, the european central bank and two, german politicians. the e.c.b. have already indicated they are getting close to the end of the road. as for german politicians and the government, what is it going to take for them to change course? will it be a recession? is that a catalyst for a change in approach? you've got blanchflower next to you, why would a government on the brink of recession be balancing the books? >> good question. >> well, you see the fiscal policy there. thank you. greatly appreciate that. on the fiscal policy of germany, do they have to do infrastructure and create deficit? well, the message i have is lagarde, blanchard, lenten and others are really going down the road of infrastructure spending that you have to do something. but there's a need to impact the other side.
6:36 am
the s takin' them -- worry is what is the catalyst? >> is the catalyst bank failure in europe? >> we were talking about this. i've got an under -- .88% german and the banks don't survive on that, do they? >> the banks don't survive on that. in my mind italy is the front and center. >> why is that? >> well, what does it do? big country, huge levels of unemployment. the banks are in trouble so i don't know what alternative they have other 2457b leaving. >> the labor reformings they passed this week making it a little easier to fire people. >> the evidence is reforming the labor market has nothing to do with anything. it's about reforming the product market and trying to get demand up. y0 give labor more flexibility. great. i think it's hard to see. we should be seeing movement upwards in fiscal policy.
6:37 am
>> so they need to spend more? >> when you say germany has to do something, define it. >> well germany is going to have to increase spending and go down the infrastructure road. >> schaeuble doesn't want to do it. >> well, they should have done it yesterday and six years ago yesterday so the worry is how does europe survive unless -- >> so what is it going to take to get schaeuble to change his tune? >> well. >> my experience is the bank system. i would look toward the financial -- >> how about the german bank? that's precisely right. you go down from the deutsche banks, too big to fail. like lloyd's and rbs is a different group. >> there have been bank rescues. they have not hit the headlines because e.c.b. has stepped in. i think the unintended bank failure is the problem and

6:42 am
it's creating a big headache for the colleges and universities. the bars show the number of college applications that students are filing. this matters because the entire u.s. hiring education sector is facing tremendous challenging. so the number of students that applied to five or more colleges is picking up significantly. >> that's 70%. this is because of computers, right? adam, when you and i did this we had a quill. we had to dip the quill in ink. i really want to go to your school. paper on a mainframe. >> i can remember doing it on cards. >> what are you seeing at dartmouth in terms of the freshmen coming in. what's the new trend? >> the new trend actually is to

work its wonders. if you have graduates not getting jobs -- >> interesting to think of lawyers as overhead rather than as a profit center. that's exactly your point. >> what's the acceptance rate at dartmouth? 25 years, i can't remember anything from 25 years ago. >> one in 14. >> that's you have to get in. >> it's a dartmouth bubble. let's go to our twitter question. is technology creating or destroying jobs? in the legal business is technology creating or destroying jobs? >> well, it certainly made it more efficient and it's made us expected to be and in fact available 24/7. if you've got a hand held device you're expected to have it on. people can reach you at all

times. used to be when i waa young lawyer when you have got a markup of -- you would have a day or two to turn it around and then you would send it by federal express to people who didn't have a fax and you would fax and get a period of time to sort of not worry about that document. these days you send it by an email. it's marked automatically and you will get a return in 20 minutes. >> when i first started to do consulting in london the guy on the motor bike would come around and you would hand it to him and he would shoot off. > we used to have closings where people actually showed up. >> yes. and the lecture notes in a red, leather brief case? >> it's a british thing. >> still keep the quill. >> higher in overnight staff the w it's down to

but while we are on the subject of amazon. interesting question facing the supreme court this week. the question is are workers the new coal miners. that's what the justices are looking at. they said miners should be paid for the time it takes to travel up and down the mine shaft but now they are saying they should be paid for the time it takes to go through security. so the question is whether or not your time should be paid for the time you're on the premises. richard, this is your field. bag in the 1940's the government was on the side of the miners, but the obama administration is siding with amazon. what's the argument? >> well, i don't know too much about the case. but i think it is the analogy sounds reasonably apt. and we will have to see. the supreme court is going to
