"William Greider has covered politics from the national capital for The Washington Post, Rolling Stone Magazine, and currently The Nation. Greider's most recent book, Come Home America, examines the implications of our country's predicament. He talks about the Democrats roll in deregulating the financial markets and their current dilemma between representing their funders and their constituents."

2. When I hear Obama say "we can't rely on the failed theories of the last 8 yrs" I wonder

Hey Dude! What about the failed theories of the LAST 30 YEARS?
If you just repeal or repudiate the last 8 years without overturning the Reagan Revolution you're just going to continue the historic shafting of the ordinary American.

3. Thank you for posting this.

Last year, I attended a forum at which William Greider spoke (and Naomi Klein!!). He impressed me so much that I ran out and bought his "Secrets of the Temple" (about the Federal Reserve). I haven't started it yet ... but it's near the top of my (growing) pile of books to read.

Thanks again!

4. k n r. thanks for this. All Greider's books are great and

he has an amazing ability to describe what is happening in terms that everyone can understand. I used to get Rolling Stone just to read his analysis before he moved to The Nation.
