Kevin Phillips
Former Nixon strategist Kevin Phillips believes that a perfect economic storm is rewing. He blames the explosion of debt, our use of fuzzy economic statistics, and rising energy costs for leading us beyond the precipice and into a major financial crisis. It’s all detailed in his new book, Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism, and he speaks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
