Financial Crisis and Congressional Collusion
An unprecedented live-streaming event on March 27th brings together
some of the hottest critics of our political and economic system.
March 22, 2012 | Advertisement The public conversation about the
incestuous and nefarious links between congressional financial
deregulation and Wall Street greed, which produced the fiasco known as
the Great Recession of 2007, is about to get much hotter next week.
The NYC-based Culture Project, known for cutting-edge theater
productions like the powerful The Exonerated and the brilliant Bridge
and Tunnel, featuring the multi-talented Sarah Jones, will blend
theater, journalism and some of the sharpest tongues in public life,
to help hold the American political system accountable.
On Tuesday, March 27 you can watch a live-stream from Georgetown
University featuring the verbal pyrotechnics of Eliot Spitzer, former
governor of New York; Matt Taibbi, the journalist best known for
documenting the obscene behavior of Goldman Sachs; Van Jones, the
honcho behind Rebuild the American Dream; Heather McGhee of Washington
Demos; best-selling author Ron Suskind; and OWS activist Jesse La
Greca. Hosting this powerhouse lineup is the indefatigable Dylan
Ratigan, who skewers the failures of the corporate system everyday
from his perch at MSNBC.
The Culture Project's strategy is to motivate as many high-traffic
news sites on the web as possible to offer the live-streaming, as well
as build a mass audience of viewers via Fora TV, at 7pm EDT. Here is
the link. Save it. Remember to watch. This will be a unique event.
The Culture Project, which normally addresses human rights issues by
featuring artistic work that amplifies marginal voices, is going the
other direction here. The group is investing time and resources to
produce public events where some of the most prominent voices of
dissent offer a high-level, sophisticated critique of the system's
failures. By engaging top-of-the-line thinkers, who know the
intricacies of how and why the system broke down, we will learn the
necessary economic and policy fixes. And learn we must -- before we
find ourselves even deeper in the weeds of unemployment, underwater
mortgages and the vast gap between the 1 percent and the rest of
America.
