About the Episode
For the first time ever, the European Union rejected a proposed budget from a member state: Italy. A deadlock has ensued, threatening a "doom loop" that could consume Italy's economy, the eurozone, and perhaps even the global economy. Former IMF official Isabelle Mateos y Lago and economic historian Adam Tooze join Brian Hanson to discuss this issue.
