Facing the economic fallout

Description

Amidst historic economic failures, this edition of the Journal takes an in-depth look at what led to the financial meltdown, what it means for American families, and how it may affect voters in the run-up to the 2008 elections. Bill Moyers speaks with prescient political and economic critic Kevin Phillips, author of Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism. Moyers also sits down with New York Times business and financial columnists Gretchen Morgenson and Floyd Norris to discuss who wins and who loses in the financial turmoil. An essay on America's current Gilded Age concludes the program.
