Mark Weisbrot on the US opposition to Latin America's "pink tide"

The Real News has published this interview with Mark Weisbrot of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), The Role the US Played in Reversing Latin America's 'Pink Tide' 07/28/2018:

Mark Weisbrot consistently does a good job of providing an informed, left-leaning perspective on Latin American politics and economics in terms that are accessible to American audiences. US news coverage of Latin America tends to be very spotty, driven by US establishment conventional wisdom, and often just plain bad.

This interview also includes some comments on the outrageous US court decision on Argentine payments on defaulted debt.
