Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'How does the Occupy Wall Street movement move from 'the outrage phase' to the 'hope phase,' and imagine a new economic model? In a Democracy Now! special broadcast, we bring you excerpts from a recent event that examined this question and much more.'

Occupy the Budget

Sarah Anderson, Truthout: 'How to pay for the crisis while making our nation more equitable, green, and secure. Some lawmakers are trying to give America the cartoon image of a penniless hobo, circa 1932, with holes in his pants and nothing but a cold can of beans for dinner. We are broke, they say, with no choice but to slash spending on public services. The truth is that we are a rich nation. We need to make big changes, of course. But we should see this crisis as an opportunity to harness the country s abundant resources in ways that will make us stronger.'

The Wages of Economic Ignorance

Robert Skidelsky, Project Syndicate: 'Politicians are masters at 'passing the buck.' Everything good that happens reflects their exceptional talents and efforts; everything bad is caused by someone or something else. The economy is a classic field for this strategy. Three years after the global economy s near-collapse, the feeble recovery has already petered out in most developed countries, whose economic inertia will drag down the rest.'
