Today's Public Channel Feature

The recent economic crisis has brought to light some of the shortcomings of the U.S. economy — many of which need to be remedied if the United States wants to avoid future crises and curb its growing deficit. Richard Duncan, author of "The Corruption of Capitalism," maps out a plan that just might reinvigorate the U.S. economy.
