About the panelists:
In Myths of Free Trade, Congressman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) spans the globe to find the hidden consequences of our continued, failed trade policies.
Longtime New York-based journalist Esther Kaplan goes undercover to revival meetings, quasi-scientific advisory panels and faith-based programs to investigate how Christian fundamentalists really run a democracy With God on Their Side.
One of America's most preeminent social scientists, CUNY Distinguished Professor Frances Fox Piven argues in The War at Home: The Domestic Costs of Bush's Militarism that this recent round of warmongering is just a smokescreen for an even more radical agenda right here at the homefront.
In Dick, John Nichols of The Nation delivers the first (highly unauthorized!) biography of the most powerful vice president in American history, from the Yale professor who now denounces Cheney to the Halliburton windfall now numbering in the billions.
Wall Street insider Nomi Prins exposes how deregulation and corporate malfeasance allowed executives to make out like bandits in Other People's Money.
This public event-which will feature brief presentations by each author, an interlude of political satire by the authors of Citizen You! How to Help Your Government Help Itself, a roundtable discussion among the panelists, and an audience question-and-answer session-will be moderated by Lewis Lapham, editor of Harper's Magazine and author of 30 Satires and Theater of War (both by The New Press).
