It starts August 24.
“In this 4-week course, Professor Murphy will survey the sovereign debt crisis roiling world financial markets. The class will provide an overview of the worldwide housing bubble and its impacts on various countries and their banks. It will explain the formation of the euro, and the theories–both mainstream and Austrian–of the optimal size of a currency area. The course will also document the fiscal situation of the various at-risk countries, and will outline the various interventions that governments, the European Central Bank, and the Fed have used to postpone the day of reckoning. Finally the course will assess the current situation and offer prospects for the future.”
