Will one of the possible ripple effects of the disaster in Japan be a period of meaningful economic growth?

James K. Galbraith — "A Progressive Economist" - ElectricPolitics (Sep 26, 2006)The venerable tradition of political economy hasn't died out (yet) but practitioners have become uncommonly hard to find. James K. Galbraith, who penned a wonderfully sharp critique of our economic system earlier this year in Mother Jones, and is at work on a larger version (as well as having another new book about to be published), brings iconoclastic, innovative sensibilities to a wide range of issues. I'm always delighted to hear reasonable solutions—even half-way solutions—that may be less well-known but are eminently bleeding-edge, especially from a committed progressive. My sincere thanks to James for sharing his thoughts. Total runtime an hour and thirty three minutes. Enjoy!DownloadJames K. Galbraith's website is: James K.
