I just put out a news release via the Institute for Public Accuracy on the financial hearings plugging the work of Thomas Ferguson and Robert Johnson, two of the best analysts on these issues. They contribute to an outfit called New Deal 2.0. But I don't think the New Deal happened because smart analysts asked for it. It happened because the establishment was scared of socialists and other organizers achieving more far-reaching change. Now, so-called progressives look at change as a scary thing. This morning, Democracy Now featured Naomi Klein talking about how the right is trying to misuse the earthquake in Haiti. There wasn't a discussion about how to help restore some democratic structure that has been stripped away to Haiti now that the government there has so fully failed.
