My December Bloomberg Radio Appearance
I'd noted in mid-December on this list that I was a guest on Bloomberg Radio on the "Bloomberg on the Economy" program with Carol Massar.
I promised to post a recording of the interview once I got it. Well, I've got it! Here it is, about 10 minutes. (It would be 8 minutes without my stammering. I'll work on that.)
Thanks to the people at Bloomberg for chasing down a copy of this for me.
