Amid fading hopes for real reform on issues ranging from high finance to health care, economist Robert Kuttner and journalist Matt Taibbi join Bill Moyers to discuss Wall Street’s power over the federal government. Robert Kuttner is co-editor of The American Prospect and author of “The Squandering of America,” and Matt Taibbi is a regular contributor to Rolling Stone and author of “The Great Derangement.”
Before you go — An urgent appeal for your support
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when our journalism is most necessary, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to worsening political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 4 days and still need to raise $32,000. Please make a tax-deductible gift to Truthout at this critical time!
