The big economic story of 2014: Plunge in oil prices

Niobrara News

Texas A&M University-Commerce professor of economics Dr. Dale Funderburk says the dramatic fall in the price of oil is the big economic story of 2014, and will continue to be a major story in 2015.  And Dr. Funderburk says the cyberwar apparently unleashed by North Korea on Sony has huge implications for the world economy.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
