    Hi All,

    In case you missed it - in a must-watch discussion on the financial history of the US, Ben Ashby and Mark Higgins, CFA covered:

    • Why the US philosophy on the use of public debt shifted in the post-World War II era

    • How that has led to unsustainable fiscal deficits

    • How other nations have emulated US practices to varying degrees, making the unsustainable use of debt a global phenomenon in the twenty-first century

    A recording is now available to CFA UK members here.
