a new global economy and call on the nato led coalition to play by the rules. as the u.n. has some explaining to do over its resolutions on libya and ivory coast of being implemented. and the u.s. is accusing the canadian regime change in the arab world from cyber warfare all under the guise of democratic revolution setting up an army of paul callan speaking for western intervention in libya may be just one of the tricks of the cia's sleep . about with more news running in less than fifteen minutes from now another update but in the meantime america's twenty twelve elections may be a year away but they already looked set to be dominated by one issue how to reduce the country's huge deficit when as the democrats and republicans start. to tackle it. with professor joseph stiglitz he's a nobel prize winning economist for his views and that interview is coming next year.
2:32 pm
joseph stiglitz is a nobel prize winning economist and columbia university professor and he's pushing for a rethinking of the global economic framework in the wake of a national crisis and i want to thank you so much for joining us professor now you've written recently about the increasing disparity between rich and poor in the united states and you've even compared these conditions to what led to the other us we've seen in the middle east so what do you think are the factors that led to this and what do you think the consequences will be. raised was that. increasing the concentration of income and wealth in the united states has been enormous. what's happened in the last couple of decades is almost a quarter of older income goes to the upper one percent. around forty percent but now you measure it the wealth goes for one percent of americans used to think of
2:33 pm
themselves as a land of opportunity that everybody else thinks of themselves as a land of opportunity and if you could over europe as a sephardic. the data. to show that need while we see protests taking to the capitals of states like wisconsin so it's right on the tipping point i think they're beginning to realize that most americans are worse off than they were say a decade ago so it's not just that all this wealth is going to the top if everybody were getting better off you could say well some are doing a little bit better than the others but actually mooste americans are worse off than they were a decade ago. and that is that it includes the sense of insecurity the loss of jobs of it in security but health rights that most people in europe take for granted and united states people if they lose their job can lose all the access to health care
2:34 pm
one of things that i raised in my article was that the put in the not only the political consequences but the economic consequences and then out there are many things that any society has to do together. you have to. that education and that's mix in technology. infrastructure roads. that means that there has to be certain degree of consensus for a society to function even economically these are things the government has to do but if you have a very split society there are going to be very different views about what's important if the rich can buy their own parks they don't need to have public parks if the rich can buy their own education we don't have to public education if the rich can buy their own health care we don't have to have good health care for most americans and that's where we're winding up today so the people at the top at one
2:35 pm
percent. are using their political power to try to preserve their wealth and meanwhile making sure that the government doesn't do what is necessary for the prosperity the functioning of our entire society we're not seeing an increase in funding for n.p.r. structure education or science and said we're think quite the opposite side you think this country is headed in the wrong direction that's right and that was what was brought home so forcefully by the what was going to happen in wisconsin and here you have people saying over the country we need to improve education. but what are they doing cutting teacher salaries now you're not going to attract the best people into education if you don't pay them i mean that simple economics and it's not a surprise in that context that the day in those standardized scores that rate education all over the world united states is really not doing very well so who's the grain
2:36 pm
here is the politicians asleep at the wheel or out of touch with reality or their greater flaws in the system it's both i mean there are some real. deep flaws in america's political system. our campaign contributions supreme court said that corporations are people i mean it philosophically i find that difficult but they say because we can't restrain the rights of free speech corporations have the ability to contribute and that means they can use their money to get laws that allow them to escape taxation and to shape a political process they really works for them but not for the rest of the country and what i argued in my paper in my article was this was shortsighted if you don't make these investments we're going to wind up in
2:37 pm
a divided society and unproductive economy and even that one percent. will suffer and that is the link between what happened in tunisia and mexico. and in egypt and other countries where they divide has grown and. it's meant that their economies have function and the societies have not functioned speaking of not functioning well what about the u.s. dollar because you're someone who is calling for a new global reserve currency but why because some say what's the alternative really would have argued for is a creation of a global reserve currency. reserve currencies are my think of a store of value. and the dollar has been very unstable. understandable given the. difficulties you might say of american economy if you know our performance was not a us dollar. but the fact that in
2:38 pm
a modern globalized economy twenty first century it's an anachronism that a single currency would play the pivotal role that the dollar has played. but i argue and i've argued my book making globalization work is that the dollar reserve currency system contributes to inequality. that poor countries are lending to the united states or close to zero interest rate and then borrowing back a much higher interest rates an equitable increase it contributes to instability. and it actually contributes to a weakening of global aggregate demand a weak global economy because if countries are setting aside. literally hundreds of billions of dollars you might save the cautionary savings. that's money not spent so you're saying essentially it hurts everybody to have the u.s.
2:39 pm
dollar is the reserve currency that's right and what we describe what i've described in the un commission that i cherry red commission reform the global financial monetary system. explains how we can create a global reserve currency as really interesting to be here at bretton woods talking about that because keynes argued for this seventy five years ago. in the aftermath of the great depression he understood. the links between. you case problem me u.k. being the reserve currency down and if we're going to have global economic stability we needed to move off of the. single currency country being the reserve currency. bretton woods failed from his perspective in this respect and didn't the us say hey we disagree we want to be the main reserve
2:40 pm
currency and got their way so it would be us still have that same power if world leaders got together again today for another bretton woods conference i think that same meeting were in bretton woods the world is markedly different china has close to three trillion dollars of reserves about a third of the global reserves about nine trillion dollars you're only three trillion dollars you have some voice in what kind of reserve currency system you want to have and chinese been very clear that it worries about the current dollar based reserve system right after the u.n. commission came out in support china's supported it france's support of russia supported it so there is a wide understanding not you know animists but a wide understanding of the importance of this idea and i think that the economy global economy remains weak and it will be more interest as one of the remedies to the current instability and weakness in the global economy china's also
2:41 pm
been critical of the united states for its policy of quantitative easing and if i read your writings correctly you seem to be saying they have a point so what is that point the point is the u.s. is creating liquidity us work very hard to open up global financial markets and one of the implications of that is when you create with quiddity if you go anywhere in the world it wants where's it going not where we need it here in the united states it's going where it's not aid us in china and brazil and other countries that don't want it so it's not only they don't need it they don't want it. we have to fix the banking system the mistakes our system of getting money. into small and medium sized enterprises is called up and the federal reserve has not fixed it and you know they they contribute to creation a crisis they didn't understand the basic economics and that's one of the purposes the meeting here in bretton woods but because they didn't understand the problems
2:42 pm
that they were creating they didn't really understand how to fix it and yes they brought us back from the brink and they saved the big banks but they have not really gotten our economy going again i want to thank you so much for. every space is above all of our national security there is no substitute and there is no alternative to military moments in space. bombs on target little time bellman clubs will above unless will either able to deliver through space ship seems to me better. company crammed down
