Jeff Santos and Paul Krugman in Cambridge Monday May 7th
Paul Krugman: "Unless you're in a very, very rarified wealthy elite, you've got friends, relatives who are suffering. This is a national catastrophe that's happening pretty quietly, but it's happening."
Paul Krugman has a new book out - End This Depression Now - and was in Cambridge, Monday May 7, at the First Parish Unitarian Church to discuss it. The event was presented by the Harvard Book Store.
Jeff Santos, host of the Jeff Santos Show and Rebuild America on the Revolution Radio Network spoke with the Princeton professor and Nobel-Prize winning economist following the presentation.

Economics Professor, Andrew Sum, Director of the Northeastern University Center for Labor Market Studies was a guest on Rebuild America with Jeff Santos on Wednesday April 25, 2012 and talked about the study which looks at, as he puts it, "the most lopsided recovery I've ever seen".
Listen to a podcast of this fantastic interview here.
Boston Globe correspondent Jay Fitzgerald reported on the Northeastern University Labor Market Study in an April 8, 2012 article: "Wages haven't kept pace with recovery, study finds". Here's an excerpt:
"After going eight months without working, Karen St. Germain has learned one thing about the job market in today’s tough economy.
'Employers are looking for a lot more for a lot less from employees,’ said St. Germain, who has applied to work at a number of Massachusetts firms after losing her job as an operations manager at a local jewelry maker. 'Employers are looking at bringing in people at lower pay, and they want you to do a lot more things that aren’t included in a job description.’
With sometimes hundreds of people applying for a single opening, it’s hard for people like St. Germain to find a job - not to mention one that pays as well as their old positions did before the Great Recession.
Happy 100th Fenway, Thanks for the Memories (Revolution Radio Network Contributor, Earl Bender, shares some thoughts on the 100th Anniversary of Fenway Park)
My brother Larry always says, “There’s no such thing as a bad day at the ballpark.” Fenway is a great ballpark and I’ve had spent some great days and great evenings there.
My personal favorite was Opening Day, April 10th 1981. Now I’ve always felt OPENING DAY is special. In fact, I believe it should be a National Holiday – what better way to celebrate Spring than by sitting in a stadium watching the annual rebirth of the National Pastime, even when it means freezing your…nose off.
Opening Day 1981: Carlton Fisk’s first game as a White Sox. Pudge had just left the Red Sox after a nasty contract dispute with ownership. The media had built this game up as a grudge match, speculating endlessly how Red Sox Nation would treat their former icon. Red Sox v. White Sox. Drama. Hoopla. Playoff atmosphere.
