EP04: Herman Mark Schwartz: housing finance and America's European provinces (Europe's New Political Economy)

On International Podcast Day, we bring you yet another interview from across the Atlantic. In our fourth episode Aidan Regan, the director of University College Dublin's Jean Monnet Centre on the New Political Economy of Europe, talks with economic historian and University of Virginia professor Herman Mark Schwartz. Aidan and Mark discuss housing finance on either side of the Atlantic, the origins of the 2008 crisis, and how the dollar's dominance affects Europe's economic development.
