Friday, December 15, 2006Good Morning, again from the University of South Carolina. Thanks for tuning in. I've got a terrific program for you this week, though it's a little long. After a preliminary discussion of the continuing decline in the public approval ratings for the Abe Cabinet, Dr. Edward Lincoln joins us for his comments on Japan's current economy, and on the economic policies of the Abe Administration. Great material. Dr. Lincoln is the director of the Center for Japan-U.S. Business and Economic Studies at NYU's Stern School of Business in New York, and a professor of economics there. Click here to visit the Center's new Website, which includes a page of valuable links for economic information about Japan. The SkypePhone interview with Ed was so full of useful information that I've run the whole thing. So, no time once again for bluegrass. Next week fer shur, as we'd say OverHome.
