Global Wealth and Global Debt - Interview with Jason Furman (Harvard University)

Global Wealth and Global Debt - Interview with Jason Furman (Harvard University)

Global debt has now topped $300 trillion USD, or three times total global economic output. This is a number that is going to have very real consequences for billions of people around the world, but as scary as the number sounds there is still reason to be optimistic and there are still reasons why most economists handling this issue are not too worried just yet. To help us understand this issue in the course of our research we were lucky enough to speak to Dr. Jason Furman an economics professor at Harvard University and a former economic policy director for the Obama Administration. His understanding of an issue as large as global debt is truly valuable not only because of his impressive academic background but also because he is one of only a handful of people in the world that has ever had their hands on the proverbial controls of economic policy at this scale.
