Video (Debut!) on Plutocrats & the Forbes Billionaire list

I sat down yesterday for a conversation over coffee with Elaine Wolff, the Editor and Founder of Plaza de Armas, a smart, San Antonio-based news and commentary site.

We covered the Forbes Billionaire list, my recent review of Chrystia Freeland’s Book Plutocrats, elite legitimacy, and the profitability of new media.

The conversation starts at 59:40 and runs to 1:11:42

Video: Great Graphical Display of Inequality in America

As a followup to my review of Chrystia Freeland’s good book Plutocrats, and in honor of Forbes’ release of their latest list of the World’s 1,426 Billionaires, everybody should watch this video.  Do it, it just takes 6 minutes.  We can’t have a useful dialogue about these things if we don’t have the facts.

Public Speaking

I founded Bankers Anonymous because, as a recovering banker, I believe that the gap between the financial world as I know it and the public discourse about finance is more than just a problem for a family trying to balance their checkbook, or politicians trying to score points over next year’s budget – it is a weakness of our civil society. For reals. It’s also really fun for me.
