KunstlerCast 258 — Yakking with David Collum


JFK in free-ranging conversation with David Collum, who calls himself “the Paris Hilton of financial commentary.” Dave is also the distinguished Betty R Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chairman of the Cornell University Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. He is a savvy cat and fun to talk to about the disorders of contemporary banking and economics.

The KunstlerCast music is “Adam and Ali’s Waltz” from the recording Waiting to Fly by Mike and Ali Vass.

Kunstler skewers everything from kitsch to greed, prejudice, bloodshed, and brainwashing in this wily, funny, rip-roaring, and profoundly provocative page- turner, leaving no doubt that the prescriptive yet devilishly satiric A World Made by Hand series will continue.” — Booklist

    Nice show Jim ! A few years back some people wanted the gold they had trusted to the Fed returned. The Fed said sure-just give us some time. One reason for China to help keep gold down ? http://www.globalresearch.ca/germanys-failed-attempts-to-get-its-gold-back-from-the-us-federal-reserve-opens-question-of-its-sovereignty/5390472

      Mic was an improvement. Cleaning up audio to perfection is a bottomless hole. I find very little to complain about in the production of your cast. Got a good ear ( so do you ) which can be a curse! Keep you rosin & powder dry !
