Bill Moyers and economist Robert Johnson take a hard look at the international ramifications of the bailout. Johnson is former chief economist of the Senate Banking Committee, former managing director at Soros Fund Management, and currently serves on a U.N. Committee on International Financial and Monetary Reform. And, scholar John McWhorter weighs in on whether the U.S. is "a nation of cowards," as Attorney General Eric Holder suggests, on racial issues. McWhorter, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, is a best-selling author, a columnist for THE NEW REPUBLIC, and he teaches at Columbia University. Moyers remembers Christopher Nolan.
