Economist Ha-Joon Chang on Currency Wars and G20


Democracy NOW! - DN! - Korean-born economist Ha-Joon Chang teaches economics at the University of Cambridge and is the author of the forthcoming book 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism. "Obama] has to buy time to restructure the economy without creating a recession by sustaining this deficit spending, because otherwise our other option is going back to the 1930s," Chang says. "Don't forget that in the 1930s a lot of countries started cutting this deficit as soon as things looked slightly better, and many of them went back into recession."
