The Bailout: What's Next for Mass.?

It's a new week on Wall Street — the first full week in the early phase of its $700 billion bailout plan. Congress passed the financial rescue bill on Friday.

For a look at how the package may affect Massachusetts, WBUR's Bob Oakes turns to Mark Williams. He brings several perspectives to the conversation. Williams teaches finance and economics at Boston University. He's a former banking regulator and trade floor risk manager.

This program aired on October 6, 2008. The audio for this program is not available.
