Hacks and Flacks - The Financial Follies 2012

Mary Kate Dubuss, Zach Kouwe and Stephanie Dressler of Dukas Public Relations

The Financial Follies, which is put on by the New York Financial Writers Association every November, is a tremendous place for public relations folks and journalists to get to know each other better.

Gowanus Lounge Coverage

By Zach Kouwe

Here'e the Gowanus Lounge writing about my research for Peter Tanous and Jeff Cox for their book, called Debt, Deficits and the Demise of the American Economy. The interesting thing is that the post, which was written a few months ago, calls the thesis of the book "far-fetched" and "highly unlikely." But, if you look at what has happened to the stock market in the last two weeks, plus the debacle of the debt ceiling coupled with the downgrade by S&P, the scenario in the book doesn't look that out of whack.

Here's a video of Peter Tanous on Tech Ticker with Henry Blodget recently.
