Q&A : China Will Not Demand Its Money Back

Why the doomsday predictions on the debt ceiling are wrong.

Entrevue accordée par M. James K. Galbraith, à la revue The American Prospect, le 5 mai 2011.

Refusing to raise the ceiling will prevent us from paying debts and will destroy the faith our bondholders — that is, China — have in us. Or will it ? The Prospect talked with James K. Galbraith, the Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. chair in government/business relations at the University of Texas at Austin, about just how accurate the doomsday predictions really are.
