that's the headlines here in r.t. next we talk to the winner of the nobel prize for economics chemist joseph arrow who tells r t how he's saying the eurozone debt crisis should be tackled. kenneth arrow professor nomics americas at stanford university you're also the youngest nobel laureates to have been to portray ward at that price in economics in ninety seven it's really great to have you with us today. enjoy being here the global economy is still not fully recovered from the recent financial crisis so now we have an economy saying that we're going to go to another global recession another round or we're going to have another way for of crisis hit us what's your
2:32 am
take on that i think the answer is we don't know. leave it at that the american economy seems to be recovering on a fairly solid basis slow but i don't see any any particular obvious instability in. the european debt crisis is not thoroughly result but at the moment all the media fires have been there but i would say they're not put out with their reduced. i am disturbed about the tendency which is partly true the united states were much more true in some parts of europe of too much austerity. when we have. a condition of the fish and demand and supply the employment i think the idea that you want to stimulate the economy. through government spending or some other good way he tax decreases is pretty clear we could be recovering faster from our problems the
2:33 am
united states but we are we do and we haven't gone to the extremes of say great britain or. france or germany that has maintained a good it can only. move word of the recovery will be slower than need be here absolutely right the recession fears are actually the highest among the european union countries what. future do you see for creates it has defaulted here weeks ago it really that bad ever was so scared of it that really that bad obviously creates problems for greece and that lenders may say well if they default the blood's of the fall together. you have there's not much evidence that countries default than we go ahead to quite a nice recovery in the past. people will be difficult for greece to borrow money but maybe that's a good thing that will maintain discipline now i think maybe i think they made
2:34 am
a mistake by not the forty year earlier. said that they have to do things that would have saved them it would have the look they got themselves into a bit trouble but by the by overspread that was no i think is any conceivable course they ran up with a deficit that was. during times of prosperity that was. not good not sustainable. they read. goes back to the olympics as a tool for which they probably should never have undertaken it was too much too much too costly for coverage for greece now there are fundamental there are also fundamental long run problems with the with the greece as there is with a couple of other economies there they have rigidities in these are but these are real problems not financial problems but they are. it into the financial problems they have rigid labor laws we have for greece has what seemed to be extraordinarily
2:35 am
generous social security system in far more generous the united states which could afford it a lot better. there are people retiring very early then of course the have a problem with recent tax. recoveries going to collect its taxes it's going to be big problems but you don't think that greece will leave the euro i don't think so maybe they should by the way but i don't think they. prove the euro is that it's very difficult to break away from it it can be done but the big price to pay is going to be paid to begin with. like all these things benefits make her the long run sort of greece if. you see it was interesting of greece had had not been in the euro it probably would have been able to borrow the money that it. was going to lead to drachmas because they were the nobody but they had demanded a high interest rate so they would have been much worse off well we were better off actually because they've been disciplined. and he's been allowed to run down badly
2:36 am
there were some periods with twenty or thirty years ago when it looked like it was going out but in the short term political advantage led to conceding this one and seeing that one and then of course the corruption the lack of adequate tax collection which is my impression is enormous and i'm not at all sure it's been thirty rectified by the current reforms painful as they are because rich people get privileges of poor people do you think they maybe don't you know the fact that we see is hilly and spain default right after greece i really think it leaking it but i don't see the it's it is much better control over its economy. and spain not only the problems of spain really a for school at all they have been very prudent they're not running b.b.s.'s they're problems entirely different they have very rigid labor laws and these labor laws make it. high unemployment during periods of prosperity so i think we do this in spain really a hurdle to do with these euro bond problems that i don't use their credit rating
2:37 am
for the sake of just the play of the economy was. bad labor laws but you are still under question because of countries like italy spain portugal greece where do you see the time well i think you know there is an argument that you were a big mistake to begin with what do you think is it a big mystery i think is probably premature there is. having a currency without being of a single state it's got a lot of problems the realize that it's. essentially the central government giving out money to the poor part of the there's a problem if you have money if you're poor parts people can move one place to another of course they can move in the european union but language is a problem of languages are much much harder to move in. europe than does the united states even apart from oh you've said in the beginning of the interview that the
2:38 am
united states is getting itself out of a mess slowly but securely from what we know u.s. step now stands at almost sixteen trillion u.s. dollars exceeding d.d.p. . will that continue to create instability for the global financial system and how will the u.s. exactly cope well that well of course i think of it greatly exaggerated for political reasons we have we have apparently a big debt problem of the moment that the interest rates the way they are and how this is usually better for. not a great strain of course we assume good faith sort of at some point rise and that as you turn over that it's going to be going to has the what you borrow one percent through of attempting to. look. the basic problem is medical costs our medical care system is extremely inefficient very expensive we have pretty well most twenty percent if the seventeen or eighteen
2:39 am
percent of national income goes to a medical remember half that's private by the way but half of that's public and this is squeezing everything. social security is a bit of a problem it's mine i think as such here is a minor issue. the things that are not health and not. social security. i think they're being cut in a very unfortunate way because many of them were point factors for example our education systems is under attack financially we can california we have a we have been cutting. education is right now because of as a recipe for disaster in my budget i know that you were in your teens when the great depression happened in the state of member very vividly love each other but you don't feel like anything like that is to is happening right now in america you know oh there's no comparison you do but you know this was the i mean this is this
2:40 am
is the worst thing since the great depression ok question people feel like the government has preferred banks to them at this point and they're asking where where where is my bailout do you think they have a point where all this is of although there's a certain amount of sentimentality about that is true that the we have an economic system a financial system to be more precise which has led to i think. the food or rather directly lead to a to be a very large negative value for the american people these people in the incomes of these people are now getting back to the pretty the. recession levels. there is there is a sense in which the inequality of income has. gotten a lot worse whether that is not due the recession that was going on well before the recession and people were noticing that the inequality of. the inequality of income
2:41 am
do you think it will grow in the united states will have. very part of it is a question of taxation course that's not the only reason there is also a problem of foreign trade a manufacturing jobs have gone overseas china now we still strong and great many industries our exports are manufacturers are rising today but the manufacturing was that was the way by which you have high growth of high income jobs i mean you know middle middling but middling can jobs for people who've got very successful education. and that this has gone down greatly what do you make of. what do you think it fits elf well first i thought it was ridiculous that seem to have no they have no proposals but it has changed the national attitude you have you big company quality has become on the political agenda and i do that i think very well about professor thank you very much for this interview pleasure.
