The Nation‘s Naomi Klein and William Greider returned to Charlie Rose on Monday, May 11th. The award winning journalists discussed the financial crisis and economic bailout. On the bailout, Greider remarks in the interview, “The moral question is, do we try to fill the balance sheets of those institutions that led this public debacle with public money, and my answer is no.” Klein adds, “The choice is not between doing nothing and this model, the choice is what are the range of options and we should still be debating because all of the money hasn’t been handed out yet.” Greider, The Nation‘s National Affairs Correspondent is author of Come Home, America. Long time Nation columnist Klein is author of The Shock Doctrine.
