Jim Wallis: 'Rediscovering Values'

Evangelical activist Jim Wallis wants a moral response to America’s financial crisis. Economic recovery will not be enough, he says. The country needs a recovery of values.

Wallis is a progressive voice who has long been a critic of the market-driven life. Now, he says, his point is proven.

Wall Street will not show the way. The need for change, he says, goes far deeper. To other, older values.

This hour, On Point: Jim Wallis and his call for a moral recovery from economic crisis.
