Sonali Kolhatkar speaks with Doug Henwood, a political economist and editor of Left Business Observer, contributing editor at The Nation, host of the Pacifica program Behind the News, author of After the New Economy, and My Turn: Hillary Clinton Targets The Presidency.
With the news that former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg is throwing his hat into the Presidential race, many are speculating that America’s billionaire class could be panicking.
