Synopsis
The finance industry has effectively captured the US government. Recovery, says Professor Simon Johnson, will fail unless the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform is broken. And, if a true depression is to be avoided, he says, we need to act quickly. He joins Peter Day for Global Business to discuss his ideas.
