[Peace-discuss] Fwd:Media Matters Weekly Update

[jencart]

--------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to another edition of the WILL-AM Media Matters email update! 


THIS WEEK'S GUEST 

------------------------------- 

This week's guest on Media Matters is Paul Krugman. Paul Krugman is one of the world’s preeminent economists, a professor of economics at Princeton University, and an Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times. His last book, "The Return of Depression Economics," looks at the various economic crises of the 1990s and sees an “eerie resemblance to the Great Depression,” instead of the ‘new world order’ promised by the triumph of capitalism over socialism.  In his new book, "The Great Unraveling," Professor Krugman describes how the United States lost its way, economically and politically, and recommends a road map for getting the country back on track.  

UPCOMING GUESTS 

-------------- 

In the following weeks we will feature David Corn and Douglas Rushkoff.
