Boom Bust was a finance and economics show that started in 2009, produced by RT. The show was designed to provide a critical and alternative perspective on the global financial system, focusing on the consequences of neoliberal capitalism on social and economic inequality.

The show had two hosts: Erin Ade and Edward Harrison. As a team, they used their journalistic skills and experience to bring attention to trends and events in the global economy that are often ignored by mainstream media outlets and often hidden from the public discourse. Boom Bust was known for its analytical approach to financial reporting, engaging discussion, and clear explanations of financial concepts.

Erin Ade was known for her unique style of analysis and her ability to explain complex financial matters in a straightforward manner. She had previously worked as a financial journalist and had extensive knowledge and experience in financial markets. Edward Harrison, the co-host, was a market strategist and analyst with experience in managing portfolios for institutional investors, making him an excellent voice of authority on Wall Street issues.

The show's primary focus was on the global financial system and the impact that it has on everything from small businesses to everyday people. Many of the topics covered on Boom Bust centered on the causes and effects of economic inequality, as well as issues related to global banking, finance regulations, and global stock markets. With expert guests and industry insiders, Boom Bust covered a broad range of topics, commenting on issues from US real estate market crashes to the decline of the Eurozone.

The show was also known for its focus on alternative economic theories, such as modern monetary theory and quantitative easing. The hosts engaged with experts and distinguished guests, including Nobel Prize winners in economics, and discussed the implications of different economic policies on society.

One of the most notable aspects of the show was its unyielding approach to challenging the status quo and questioning the financial narratives endorsed by mainstream media outlets. Boom Bust was highly critical of neoliberal economic policies and the damaging impact they have had on the global economy, frequently calling out failures in economic policies and the institutions that support them.

The show also featured several episodes dedicated to the US stock market, such as the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and S&P500. These segments focused on the impact of macroeconomic forces on the stock market and offered detailed analysis on industry trends.

Boom Bust was not just a financial news program; it was a platform for viewers to voice their opinions on economic issues and topics that matter to them. It provided viewers with a space to discuss alternative economic theories and offered an open dialogue on complex economic issues that significantly affect their lives.

Overall, Boom Bust set an example for financial reporting by offering a critical and alternative perspective on finance and economics. It was a response to the growing demand for unbiased financial news and analysis, which allowed the show to develop a loyal following over time. By using an analytical approach to financial reporting and providing insightful commentary, Boom Bust provided viewers with a unique perspective on the global economy.
