Moyers & Company. Why Wall Street May Be Getting Off Easy

Description

What do the actions of JPMorgan Chase - under investigation for everything from deceptive sales in its credit card unit, to Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, to the criminal manipulation of energy markets and the bribing of Chinese officials - tell us about the corruption of American capitalism? In this edition of Moyers & Company, Bill poses that question to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gretchen Morgenson, who explains why Jamie Dimon - chairman, president, and CEO of JPMorgan Chase - and those like him may be getting off too easy. Morgenson's most recent book, written with Joshua Rosner, is Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon.
