that course of action and very uncomfortable conversation particularly with the prime minister gordon brown and all of the issues that are still apparent today is the lack of awareness of other aspects of the media and parliament to acknowledge that currently we have soldiers fighting in afghanistan and the war and people seem to forget that, so i would not say that any prime minister would think it isn't fighting for the right people. we continue to fight for the right people. >> how often would those prime ministers ask you as i've let the chief executive, how often or would they ever ask you not to publish a story? what they note this or what they sort of ask you to spike a story, would that happen? >> i can't remember an occasion when a prime minister has asked generally is that something that would have been? >> no. i can remember many occasions when a cabinet member or politician our prime minister was very unhappy with the stories we were running but not that they've ever barkley asked not to run. >> would you have been interested? >> as long as the story was true and accurate and pa

happening is the labor government which left it pretty much in distress disrepute after tony blair and gordon brown is getting a shot in the arm and the public is starting to be very unhappy with the coalition government there i think i think a lot of the opposition labor came out of blair's going along with bush on iraq and that that tarnished his never went away but back to the united states since obama took office and labor has taken a right future we'll see in the u.k. but since obama took office here in the united states austerity in this country has killed over a half million public sector jobs so why is austerity still on the table when all the economic indicators show it doesn't work and no country in the history of the world has ever successfully cut its way to prosperity. yeah so i wrote a big article about this for the nation called how the austerity class rules washington and i think there's a few different factors here i mean one is the debate is so dominated by advocates of austerity and both parties you have all this can these configuration of think tanks and policy organizations and

anyway sovereign debt now going forward they have very little gold they sold half the gold under gordon brown so there's no help there and second of all they'll say that this debt is of course balanced in the global debt markets there are counter parties. that are investing back and forth and that there is very little risk tell that to the investors of m.f. global when the counterpart is simply stole the money when john chorusing reached and stole a few billion dollars. there's no counter parties are going to be there they're going to get none of their money so if you think these banks in the u.k. are not exposed to four times u.k. g.d.p. with absolutely talks of worthless debt oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh you've got a big pile of marmite and a book coming your way you mentioned m.f. global and that's in this headline here max kissed the m.f. global money goodbye sources say so m.f. global customers are at the moment expecting to recover about sixty five percent of their funds that's it ok but the article then goes on to say one thing seems to be certain investigators and banks have had extensive

eventually gordon brown moved there when he was prime minister. >>-not going to criticize you. i doubt you would nowheres with the young people were drinks -- why don't you would know what the young people were doing. i also notes he says it would turn out a goldmine for future psychiatrists. >> labor should have addressed this issue. of that.oversed some . >> we have a disagreement in the tactics to achieve that. >> if our close ally wants to work with us and block the central bank of iran, country b or ally does not, isn't it helpful for country a to know there is a reward and punishment issue involved to adhering to the sanctions? doesn't it help our allies to know we want all of our allies to cut off the financing of iran through a central bank in order to avoid a nuclear iran? it will be helpful. at the risk of repeating myself, the judgment of the administration and not just secretary geithner but the administration broadly is that best way to work with our llies on this is not by threatening our most severe sanction against their largest financial institutions but to wor

chance for the exchequer gordon brown but to be so i think the big three china europe and the us would be in the club and they would be said the ghost of the new zealand and counted than others could then peg their currencies to say the us dollar with the euro zone so that's how that would work but it's interesting that for fifteen years central banks were net sellers of gold and as you pointed out in the pro segment they become that buyers of those actually a cartel did they get an advance copy of your book i don't know but who maybe were thinking along the same laws but maybe you know it's interesting to me that you know ben bernanke he disparages gold the u.s. has not sold a single ounce since one thousand nine hundred thousand tons stashed away which i think is a good thing for u.s. national security perspective ok and just real quickly we don't have a lot of time for a long answer but one of our viewers wanted to know if you were bullish on silver and said you know you always get asked about gold what are your thoughts quickly on silver silver will tag along with gold i mean it ha

that is, according to gordon brown, the first crisis of globalization. and sorting out these production consumption imbalances globally is the challenge facing the global economy. >> before they open it up for questions from the audience, i have one last question of the panel. and it's about china-u.s. relations. we have this turning of europe towards china. we have on the other hand a pivot of the united states announced at the aipac meeting in hawaii towards asia. so it seems like, you know, everybody is pivoting. [laughter] towards china, to a degree. but how do you read the state of u.s.-china relations with the dispute, now the announcement on automotive imports? what are the risks for china coming from the u.s. china economic and political relation? yukon, do you want to start with that? >> let me start with your pivot. having, european i think is brought the welcome by china. they see europe giving china more attention as positive the americans did it for china as was discussed at carnegie a couple weeks ago has raised tensions. basically this is

that's what tony blair tried, and gordon brown tried in britain, they drove up in some parts of the country government employment of 50% of the labor mark. they set the stage for the even greater crisis britain is facing now. >> david, the flip side, one of the things, diane swonk, we talk about in our politics, we cater to short answers, easy answers, simplistic answers. sometimes i would love to know what would happen if with you put economists in a room and said how would we fix this. >> take about 20 minutes and 10 minutes would be saying hello to each other. david's exactly right. i gave a speech and quoted bob dillon. the answer is blowing in the wind. the answer is right in front of us and we know what the answers are. a lot have consensus on it. dave talking about you can't lower taxes, create middle class with government spending. we have a framework of a plan in the simpson bowles. deficit reductions. what most don't realize $4 trillion over ten years with over 10 years. the longer we kick this can down the road the more problems we're creating for ourselves. >> we don't kick the

that is according to gordon brown. sorting out these production imbalances globally is the challenge facing the global economy. >> before i open it up for questions from the audience, i have one last question. it is about china-u.s. relations. we have this turning of europe to what is china, we also have the pivot of the united states announcing that theapec meeting in hawaii. it seems like everybody is pivoting. [laughter] towards asia. -- towards china to a degree. how do you read the state of u.s.-china relations? there is a tired dispute and a debate about automotive imports. what are the risks for china coming from the u.s.-china international political and economic aspects. >> let me start with your pettitte. the european pet is a broadly welcomed the bite china. they see giving europe more n as a positive thing. tensions have arisen between the u.s. and china. they are not quite sure what that means that a military says. this has a different perception within china. this is an election year here coming up. there

if you look at it from a global perspective, you might recall the current situation with gordon brown. the first crisis of globalization what has happened is that in terms of output production there has been a significant relevant shift already. the east now accounts for 55% of the total global output but is still not accounted for more than about half or maybe 40% of the global consumption. most of the consumption is in the west. most of the production shifted to the east. that is the first crisis of globalization and sorting out the production and consumption unbalances globally. seabeck before i open up for questions from the audience i have one last question of the panel and it's about china and u.s. relations. we have determined of europe to which china we have all the other hand the pivot of the united states announced the meeting in hawaii towards asia so it seems like everybody is pivoting towards china to a degree. but how do you read the state of u.s.-china relations with the dispute now the amount of tariffs by chyba and automated imports, what are the risks for china comin
