Bill Moyers Journal : Capitalism in Crisis / What's Next for Iraq?

Moyers, Bill D., (host.). Amos, Deborah, (interviewee.). Packer, George, 1960- (interviewee.). Infobase, (film distributor.). Public Affairs Television (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: Is there a crisis in American capitalism? Investment industry luminary John Bogle-one of Fortune's four "Giants of the 20th Century"-tells Bill Moyers that as more and more money managers take control over corporations on Wall Street, stockholders are paying the price. Turning to Iraq, the program looks at what is happening in the war-torn country's neighboring states, focusing on the rising number of displaced Iraqis-a figure topping 4 million, according to some estimates. NPR's Deborah Amos, just back from Damascus, and The New Yorker's George Packer discuss the regional humanitarian crisis emerging from the Iraq war. In addition, Bill Moyers remembers two soldiers fallen in Iraq.
