On Sunday, I took part in a great discussion on the current economic crisis with Alan Silberberg, CEO of You2Gov and fellow member of Political Voices of Women, Tami Winfrey Harris of the blog "What Tami Said" and host of the "The Best of What Tami Said". a blogtalk radio program.
You can listen to the show by going to The Best of What Tami Said for Sunday, March 22
During our discussion I mentioned that I consider my quest to understand the current economic crisis as a form of continuing education. This reminded me that it's been quite awhile since I've posted my recommended reading/listening/viewing list. So here are just a few of the resources that have helped me make a little sense of the madness.
