The Shifting Landscape in Macroeconomics with Martin Essex of DailyFX.com

A few weeks ago, our very own Mark Meadows went onto the DailyFX podcast and spoke with host Martin Essex. Now, we’re flipping that around and bringing Martin onto Limit Up! Martin is an analyst and editor over at DailyFX and has previously written for The Wall Street Journal, Reuters and the BBC.

Jeff talks with Martin about all things Macroeconomics, the Euro and how it’s all coming back to rethinking capitalism. Their conversation was so good, we decided to split it into two parts. So enjoy part 1 of the show!
