Nomi Prins: The Ugly Truth Behind Our Financial Crisis

The federal government's financial bailout was a scary and maddening wake-up call for America. But former Wall-Street-insider-turned-journalist Nomi Prins, author of It Takes a Pillage, says our eyes arent all the way open yet. Prins, former managing director at Goldman Sachs and current senior fellow at Demos, knows Big Finance and big money, and says that amid the bailout's exposure of greed, irresponsible regulation, and selfish mind-sets, the scariest part is that for all the trillions we're spending or committing, our economic system remains in disarrayand Washington has no real plan for fixing it. Prins does, though. Presented by Town Hall's Center for Civic Life, with Demos and Elliott Bay Book Company. Series supported by RealNetworks Foundation, the Brown Foundation, and the Otto Haas Charitable Trust.
