Gregory Makoff is the author of the terrific book, "Default: The Landmark Court Battle over Argentina's $100 Billion Debt Restructuring". Greg's book outlines the saga of Argentina's default on their sovereign debt obligations and the lengthy process of resolving the default.
We talk to Greg about a number of topics, including:
- The key differences between sovereign debt and corporate debt.
- The major players in the international debt markets who played a role in helping to resolve the situation with Argentina.
- The impact on a country when they default on their debt obligations and whether certain countries today are at risk of defaulting on their rising debt.
If you are interested in learning about Argentina and the complicated issues of sovereign debt, I would encourage you to listen to the interview.
