The Bruce Norris is joined this week by Christopher Thornberg.  Christopher is the founding partner of Beacon Economics and widely considered to be one of California’s leading economists.  He is an expert in economic forecasting, regional economies, labor markets, economic policy, and industry and real estate analysis.  He was one of the earliest and most adamant predictors of the subprime mortgage market collapse and of the global economic recession that followed in 2008.  Dr. Thornberg serves on the advisory boards of Paulson and Company Inc., one of Wall Street’s leading hedge funds, and of the Los Angeles area Chamber of Commerce.  In Southern California’s largest not-for-profit business federation between 2008 and 2012, he served as Chief Economic Advisor to the California State Controller’s Office and was chair of controller John Chang’s Council of Economic Advisors.  Dr. Thornberg holds a PhD in business economics from the Anderson School of UCLA and a B.S. in Business Administration from the state university of New York, Buffalo. Bruce and Christopher discuss issues in the global economy, particularly China, its affect on the United States, interest rates and exchange rates, the Japanese real estate boom, the winding down of Quantitative Easing efforts, retirement pension plans, the lack of volume in California real estate sales, the ownership rate, and much, much more on this week's real estate radio show and podcast.
