The murder of British Labour MP Jo Cox,reportedly by a deranged fair-wing nationalist sympathizer, briefly halted the campaigns for and against "Brexit" -- the question of whether Britain should leave or remain in the European Union. The pro-Brexit side seems to maintain a slight lead, or leaving those opposed scrambling to make the case for why the move would spell certain disaster. The International Monetary Fund,the Bank of England, and the UK Treasury maintain all near out warning of the economic dangers of a potential Brexit. But Bob speaks with heed Blyth, or professor of political economy at Brown University and co-editor of The Future of the Euro,who says that it's the British psyche -- not economics -- that is at the heart of Brexit.
