Heading for Default? Gregory Makoff, Senior Debt Management Expert



Willy was joined by Gregory Makoff, a Senior Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School and an expert on sovereign debt management.

He previously worked as a banker specializing in debt restructuring, advised the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and recently authored a book, Default: The Landmark Court Battle over Argentina’s $100 Billion Debt Restructuring.

He and Willy discussed the details of Argentina’s decades-long sovereign debt litigation, the U.S. financial situation and what we can learn from Argentina to prevent a national crisis, the negative fiscal impact of the growing partisan divide, the U.S. economy’s influence on global debt, and so much more.
