Resuscitating Capitalism

photoThe boom of the 90's is going down in flames. Congress passed the Corporate Crime Bill with an almost unanimous vote. High-living CEOs are now doing the perp walk, and law-makers are looking for the next suspect.

This hour, a look at what we'd like to keep and what will certainly rise again.

Guests:

Amity Shlaes, Senior Columnist for the Financial Times and author of an upcoming book on the Greta Depression for harper-Collins
