Debt Free In 30

Today's first time guest is Jeff Rubin, who was the Chief Economist at CIBC World Markets (where he worked for over 20 years).  He has just released a new book: The Expendables: How the Middle Class Got Screwed by Globalization, where he says that the decline in permanent, well paying full time jobs is a direct result of free trade agreements that transferred jobs to lower wage countries, leaving factories in Canada idle.  On today's show Jeff Rubin argues that globalization allows the rich to get richer, and that leads to increasing inequality, and that leads to high debt levels for the average Canadian.  Is there a solution?  We discuss that and a lot more on today's show.
