The Book of Jobs article by Joseph Stiglitz in January's Vanity Fair. Interesting article - in terms of how our monetary policy might support our transition to a different economy instead of what is actually happening. Creating new jobs going to take the kind of cooperation between private and government interests, and change in policy, and leadership, that we aren't getting.
I've read most of these things before in bits and pieces, but I liked the way the article brought a lot of the pieces together - very readable. My daughter bought this magazine because it had Lady Gaga on the cover; I've never actually read a Vanity Fair before :) http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/01/stiglitz-depression-201201 ________________________________ From: John <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 2:44 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Moyers and Company Emily, Money talks especially in Washington DC. --- In [email protected], Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: > > I watched the episode on Crony Capitalism last night - interviews with David > Stockman, who was the budget director under Reagan and Gretchen Morgenson. > The key issues are well-discussed for the layman - it's disturbing to say the > least, particularly in terms of who Obama's put in charge, but it confirms > what many already know - the "banks" are running the show and real capitalism > is dead in the financial services sector.
