The ‘pensions timebomb’ is in “slow motion detonation” in the U.S, EU and internationally as pension funds around the world begin to go bankrupt.
[…] Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the end of retirement which many Americans, Britons, Europeans and others will suffer as their pensions are decimated in the coming years due to zero percent interest rates and ultra loose monetary policies pursued for the benefit of banks and corporations.
Governments and central banks bailed out banks at the expense of pensioners and the pensions of workers who have been “thrown under the bus”.
In the second half, Max interviews Constantin Gurdgiev, Professor of Finance at Middlebury Institute of International Studies, about the debt situation in Europe and the NAMA and Irish water debacles.
