Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod interview Doug Henwood, editor and publisher of Left Business Observer. They will discuss the Democrat's pledge to protect Social Security, possible post-election scenarios and how they might affect Social Security, and the factors affecting the future of the program.
Besides editing LBO, Henwood is a contributing editor of The Nation, and hosts a radio weekly program on WBAI (New York). His book Wall Street was published by Verso in June 1997; it went out of print in 2005 and is now available for free download. His social atlas of the U.S. (in the Pluto atlas series), The State of the USA, was published by Simon & Schuster in the fall of 1994. His latest effort, After the New Economy, was published in late 2003 by The New Press. He's now in the early stages of a book on the current American ruling class, whoever that might be.
