DemocracyNow.org - The Greek parliament was set to approve a $40 billion package of spending cuts, tax increases and privatizations as a condition for a massive bailout to avert the Eurozone's first default. Without a new plan in place, the European Union and International Monetary Fund said they would withhold 12 billion euros of loans which Greece needs to repay debts due in mid-July. Meanwhile, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde has been named the new chief of the International Monetary Fund. She received backing from the United States and Europe and key emerging market nations, including China, India and Brazil. The first woman to hold the position, she begins her five-year term on July 5. In her first public comments following her appointment, Lagarde urged Greek politicians to unite to avoid a debt default. We are joined by Mark Weisbrot, an economist and the co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "There's going to be a default right up the road, so they could default now and they could refuse to accept these conditions," says Weisbrot. "They may be better off for that, especially, if the result of what is going to play out is years of recession and high unemployment."

Economist Mark Weisbrot discussed the current economic crisis and considered the choice of the IMF as a future global finance regulator. The IMF's failure to provide advance warning of most of the major financial crises of the last 15 years and its record of suggesting inappropriate remedies after the fact raise serious questions about its ability to perform this function.

Some critics have lashed out at the Federal Reserve for what they call secrecy and unaccountability. "I think the Fed is not accountable and that's a problem when you have secrecy, and you have unaccountability, you end up with problems," said Mark Weisbrot Co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington DC Weisbrot continued, "One example is of course the housing bubble that led to this recession that we have and the unemployment that we still have. That was a huge bubble and it was something that the Feds should have noticed and should have done something about and they didn't." Weisbrot made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Press TV's US Desk on Monday. "And then Ben Bernanke who was at the Feds in 2002 as the governor, became the chairman and that's an example of lack of accountability. That shouldn't have happened, after he missed the biggest asset bubble in the history of the United States," Weisbrot concluded.

Director Oliver Stone, and co-writers Mark Weisbrot and Tariq Ali discuss Stone's latest documentary, South of the Border, at the National Press Club on June 23, 2010. Stone, Weisbrot and Ali answer questions about the movie for the press after an introduction by Stone. The film is the product of Oliver Stone's 2009 road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements taking place in those countries and the mis-perceptions most people have about Hugo Chavez and other leaders in South America, mostly due to a skewed portrayal by major US media.
