March 30, 2010 — This week HFTF interviews Doug Henwood, editor of the Left Business Observer, host of the radio show, “Behind the News,” and author of Wall Street and After the New Economy. The LBO is a wonderful source for sane analysis of truly troubling, and often baffling, economic and political developments. In the episode we discuss the origins of the economic collapse, the bailout, the significance of health care “reform,” the lack of progressive pressure on the Obama administration, and more.
