Hour 2: Can China Save the Western Economies? - a podcast by Jay Taylor

Paul van Eden and Adrian Day are this week's main guests. The Western world is mired in debt at a time when nearly as many people vote for a living as work for a living. But the Piper is asking to be paid and that isn't going over very well. Even early calls for austerity are leading to riots. And a continuation of failed Keynesian policies guarantee conditions will only get worse in the longer term if not immediately. Economically, BRIC countries, headed by China have seen incomes rise dramatically over the past decade. Can surging growth in those economies continue and if so can they create global demand sufficient to revive the western world? Or, will the West continue to engage in excessive consumption guaranteeing a continuing plunge of the middle class and quality of life for everyone? How best to invest in this environment? Will gold be a savior or will its confiscation negate that strategy? COMPANY INTERVIEW - David M. Cole, Pres. and CEO of Eurasian Minerals Inc.
