An easy homework assignment this weekend about the economic meltdown.

This weekend's edition of Bill Moyers Journal has a frank discussion with several knowledgable sources about the economy, but pay special attention to the interview with Kevin Phillips and his comments about "the seven sharks" (he brings up the 'peak oil' phrase as one of the great whites) and also note that he claims, quite correctly in my view, that this will be a catastrophe lasting decades. I cannot emphasize enough to you, Dear Readers, to pay attention to this particular segment of Bill Moyers Journal . Home PBS
