this american life did a pretty good show that had two economists try to explain the latest economic mess and the bailout in pretty simple terms.
Another Frightening Show About the Economy
I haven't been consistently following things, so I recognized a lot of terms that have been going around but didn't know what all of them were. This helped a lot of things make more sense to me.
The previous episode was also really interesting (act I, the first part is the best)
Going Big
it's about a comprehensive social program in harlem that's trying to bring an entire neighborhood of poor kids up differently so they have a better chance of a fresh start and getting out of poverty. I'm going to read the book about it too (when I find it in the library and punt my homework to read)
