Best of 2010: Unemployed Workers, Thomas Frank & Chris Lehmann
December 27, 2010
We're bringing you our top shows of 2010 this week, on the Web and on TV. We hope you enjoy! This one's from December 2.

December 23, 2009
Payday lenders are often predatory, and their victims are disproportionately people of color--and almost all poor. In this video from our friends at New America Media, we take a look at an alternative program in San Francisco that offers low-cost short-term loans to keep people out of the clutches of the payday lenders.
Health Care, Sarah Schulman, and Circus Amok
December 22, 2009
