I began to listen to the KCRW weekly radio program 'Left, Right, and Center' because I admired Ms. Huffington's success at making something of herself.
I read a chapter (The Binge and the Reckoning, pp. 211-256) on the bus (I'm taking the book to the old soldiers' home bookshelf) and found it to still be of interest in November 2017.
The author dismisses GB2's assertions that a little fine tuning is all that is necessary and asserts that sleazy corporate practices must be curbed.
AH's long list of reforms that were urgently needed in 2002 begin with repeal of the Financial Modernization Act of 1999 and continue through accounting reforms, bankruptcy, and much about mutual funds.
Above all find some genuine reformers! "Those currently in power have proven themselves chronically unable to bite the corporate hand that feeds and feeds them."
Elizabeth Warren, the well known 'troublemaker,' but then a Harvard Law professor, is mentioned.
