Max Keiser: World in deep recession



Economic analyst Max Keiser talks about a deep world recession on al-Jazeera television.

He talks about a "black hole" of American debt created by short-selling and other schemes that is greater than the combined American wealth.

Countries like South Korea and Taiwan have been turning a wary eye on American treasuries making it difficult for the U.S. to finance its recovery plans.

In the latest economic news from the United States, manufacturing fell to a 28-year low in December.
