Your Call 091107 NY Times Columnist Paul Krugman

Is it possible for the U.S. to pass a “New Deal”? On
the next Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with
Paul Krugman, the award winning NY Times columnist and
the author of a new book, “The Conscience of a
Liberal.” Krugman argues that in today’s America, the
gap between the rich and poor is at the levels of the
post civil war "Gilded Age" era, and for the past
thirty years, the conservative movement has dominated
American politics. What will it take to close the
income gap? Will liberal values become relevant again?
It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guest:
Paul Krugman, NY Times columnist and professor of
economics and international affairs at Princeton
University

Your Call Pre-empted by Petraeus Report

Your Call is being preempted to bring you Gen. David Petraeus' testimony to Congress. We decided to cut into our Fall pledge drive to bring you the latest from Washington DC and Iraq. KALW still has a goal we need to make, and it is our belief and our hope that you will help us meet that goal. Over 75 percent of KALW's budget comes from you and 100 percent of Your Call's budget comes from KALW. Your support gives us the freedom to break our format and bring you the news and information you've asked for. If you'd like to support us online, click here. Thank you for your ongoing support.
