Bill Moyers Journal

Description

Since America’s economic meltdown, has anything materially changed on Wall Street? Have future financial crises been averted? In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers is joined by former International Monetary Fund chief economist Simon Johnson and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) for a report card on the bailouts, for an update on the state of the U.S. economy, and to find out whether efforts at reform have been derailed. An in-depth tribute to renowned physician and mountaineer Charlie Houston is also included, along with an alarming essay on lobbyists’ control of the health care reform agenda—a de facto leveraged buyout of democracy.
