Bamboozled
1 recommendation
"Everyone should watch this movie. Spike Lee's film discusses the exploitation and racism involved in the portrayal of African Americans in the media, how we are all susceptible to it and can become complicit in perpetuating its manipulation. We all know the media isn't above exploitation, but this film reminds us just how sinister the form can be and how its corrupt practices shape our social cons..."

The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works--and How It's Transforming the American Economy
1 recommendation
"After seeing the frightening documentary about the worst of Walmart's business practices, I am tempted to buy this book. One of the major issue addressed in the book is how Wal-Mart is forcing companies to imitate. Of course, this results in lower prices but the overall long term effect on our economy is debatable. This replacement of quality with cheapness is troubling in that it results in a..."

Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism
1 recommendation
"I saw Kevin Philips on Bill Moyers' last night, where he re-iterated the point of this book: America has allowed finance to eclipse manufacturing, propping it up for over 30 years with bail out after bail out-- all of which have led to this moment of spectacular meltdown. HIs view is pessimistic and is decried by some, lauded by others. Definitely a book to read and ponder."

The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means (Book)
1 recommendation
"Anything from George Soros is pretty much a worthy read. This book discusses the current credit crisis - its origins, implications, and outlooks for the future. A lot of people talk about the housing slump and credit crunch, but very few people understand it on a granular level. Since everyone is effected by this economic downtown, this book a great addition to anyone's library."
