Compromise, Capitulation and Capitalism
March 4, 2010Yesterday, we noted that the fangs seem to have been pulled out of the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency, and financial reform seems to be quietly fading from the agenda. But our friends at the Roosevelt Institute are in the middle of a groundbreaking conference on market reform, and we asked a few of their guests to join us in studio.Financial Reform, Animal Factory, and Student Debt

November 30, 2009It's 2009, and the biggest front of global action is on climate change. The US has moved from the flat denials of the Bush era to an acceptance of the problem, but solutions still elude us. As always, the people will have to lead.The F Word: Not Just Jobs Needed Now
November 30, 2009It's not just jobs the nation needs, it's jobs with justice -- the sort government can create, not by thinking petty and small, but thinking big. The best thing that could happen at the president's summit with CEOs is for him to declare a massive government jobs program at genuinely living wages, and for him to demand that private employers shape up.The F Word: The Possibility Of Change
November 7, 2008It's not the change it's the possibility of change that's how Barack Obama described his election on the night of November 4. " This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. " He said and he continued. "And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were."Too right.The F Word: The Day Chicken Little Croaked
September 30, 2008"You have nothing to fear but fear itself." Hearing those words from Franklin Delano Roosevelt quoted again today, they rang true in a whole new way. The fear is out there. Of course it's there -- when the Dow Jones drops a spooky 777 points in a day -- that fear's inevitable -- and the hurt’s real enough -- in people's pensions and their pocket books.But bail-out supporter or not, thereThe Politics of Fear, Art of the WPA, and In Debt We Trust
July 14, 2008On our weekly media roundtable we look at, well, the cover of the New Yorker with the magazine's senior editor Hendrik Hertzberg, Danny Schechter, and Logan Nakyanzi Pollard. What are the limits of political satire, if any, and has the New Yorker crossed the line. We also look at the housing crisis, Iran, and why nothing seems to stick to McCain. Also an interview with Ennis Carter, author of the forthcoming book, Posters for the People: Art of the WPA. And a new film from Danny Schechter, Chris Hume's Red State Road Trip, and a comment from David Sirota.
