As regular readers know, we’ve been covering the building European crisis here at the Lounge since January, and have at times enlisted the help of a great group of sovereign debt experts to write guest posts on particular issues of interest.
Frequent Lounge guest blogger Lee C. Buchheit (Cleary Gottlieb) – see here, here, and here for prior posts -- spoke with Bloomberg radio this weekend on the debt crisis and, specifically, on how to restructure Greek debt. The interview is informative, both for those familiar with the history and mechanics of sovereign debt crises, and for those with little prior exposure to the topic, as Buchheit provides a brief and understandable primer on some of the underlying legal, political, and economic issues. If the podcast below doesn’t work for you, you can listen to the interview here.
We’ve also been fortunate to host Anna Gelpern
(American, law) – here
and here
– at the Lounge. Gelpern is featured this week in a Counsel on Foreign
Relations Expert Roundup on The U.S.’
Eurozone Problem, along with Ashraf Laidi, Chief Market
Strategist, CMC Markets; Adolfo Laurenti, Deputy Chief
Economist and Managing Director, Mesirow Financial; Carmen Reinhart, Research
Associate, National Bureau of Economic Research; and Vincent Reinhart, Resident
Scholar, American Enterprise Institute; Uri Dadush, Director,
International Economics Program, the Carnegie Endowment; and Ron Sloan, Chief Information
Officer, Invesco.
