Here’s a look at what is coming up on an exciting day on The Dylan Ratigan Show:
Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and we’re back on to some serious tension coming out of Israel and Iran. Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer and Aaron David Miller, Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center, join the show today to discuss the newly announced advances in the Iranian nuclear program. Will the covert war of assassinations between the two nations escalate out of control?
Mike Mayo, Author of Exile on Wall St: One Analyst’s Fight to Save the Big Banks from Themselves, comes on the show to discuss the fallout, or seeming lack thereof, from the 2008 financial crisis. Who was to blame ultimately? Why has there been no visible prosecutions to amend the wrongs done to America? He brings a history of expertise and experience in the financial industry to the table, and we can’t wait to see what he has to say about the continued extraction of America through the financial markets.
Charles Murray, Author of Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010, comes on to discuss his new book about white America. The top and bottom of white America increasingly live in different cultures, Murray argues, with the powerful upper class living in enclaves surrounded by their own kind, ignorant about life in mainstream America, and the lower class suffering from erosions of family and community life that strike at the heart of the pursuit of happiness. That divergence puts the success of the American project at risk. How do we remedy this increasingly destructive gap?
Ari Melber closes out the day with a daily rant on the IPO announcement of Facebook; shouldn’t we all be able to get in on the action? *Like*
