En el Podcast  Knowledge Wharton Podcast  en  Negocios y sectores
34:29 min | hace 5 meses
Warning signs are flashing red. Bond markets are projecting a 98% chance of default on Greece's debt. Stock prices for French bank s, heavily invested in that debt, have plunged 10% in recent days. Has the European debt crisis hit the breaking point, with Greece -- and perhaps others -- soon to exit the eurozone? Or, will officials once more cobble together new agreements that keep Greece in the club and prevent a huge contagion effect likely to cripple an already slowing global economy? Wharton finance professors Franklin Allen and Bulent Gultekin offer their insight.

21:46 min | hace 6 meses
In a last-minute attempt to stop the U.S. from defaulting on its loan obligations, Congress voted this week to increase the countr y's debt ceiling by at least $2.1 trillion. The deal includes $917 billion in spending cuts over the next 10 years, and the establishment of a congressional committee to reduce the deficit further by $1.5 trillion. Questions remain, however: Where will these cuts come from? How will social safety nets such as Medicare be affected? And can the country continue to recover from the recession with government spending drastically reduced? Knowledge@Wharton spoke with Wharton professors Olivia S. Mitchell and Kent Smetters.

'The Happiness Manifesto': Can a Country Be as Happy as a Duck in Water?
En el Podcast  Knowledge Wharton Podcast  en  Negocios y sectores
32:19 min | hace 7 meses
The United Kingdom's Prime Minister David Cameron plans to create a national well-being index. French President Nicolas Sarkozy ha s formed a team that includes two Nobel Prize-winning economists to come up with a system for measuring the nation's well-being. In China, happiness indexes have become so popular that cities there compete for the title of China's happiest city. Many now argue that purely economic measures of a country's progress -- such as gross national product (GDP) -- fail to count many things people value highly, such as personal and community relationships or a healthy environment. To learn more about measuring happiness, Knowledge@Wharton spoke with Nic Marks, author of the e-book, The Happiness Manifesto: How Nations and People Can Nurture Well-Being.
