Debt Ceiling Drama
The drama around the U.S. debt ceiling should be low hanging fruit for a podcast about sovereign debt. But we have been unsure of the legal and economic implications. Do markets care about the debt ceiling? Is there any real risk of non-payment? Aren’t there are dozen obvious ways to borrow despite the ceiling? We ask these and other questions to expert business and economics reporter Wailin Wong, of NPR’s The Indicator from Planet Money, who is (thankfully) much less confused than we are.
