May 13 - The "Dead Wrong" Wall Street Banker and Dodd-Frank; Will the Eurozone Unravel Before the Elections?; An African-American Theologian on Same-Sex Marriage and the Black Church

Full Program

Part 1

Part 2

Then, with Greece in a political crisis and unable to form a government, we examine the possibility of a Greek default and exit from the Euro with Dimitri Papadimitriou, the President of the Levy Economics Institute. We  discuss the growing likelihood of a cascading crisis in the Eurozone with Greece teetering and increasing doubts about the solvency of Spanish banks likely to have an impact on the U.S. elections if the European Central Bank can’t kick the can down the road before November.

Part 3

Then finally we speak with Dr. Obery Hendricks, a visiting Scholar in Religion and African American Studies at Columbia University and the author of a new book  “The Universe Bends Toward Justice: Radical Reflections on the Bible, the Church and the Body Politic”. We discuss the impact of President Obama’s recent acceptance of same-sex marriage in the Black Church and the broader African-American community.
