Agenda for a New Economy -- Who Wins the Credit Card Game?

How has the credit card industry remained so profitable during the downturn? Join us for a short course on the industry that lives in all of our wallets, with the Frontline team that created The Card Game: An investigation of the consumer loan industry. Who's regulating the big credit card companies? What shows up on your monthly bill? And what are the basic reforms that could make a big difference?

Join us live at 11 or drop us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What's the credit card business getting away with? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Oriana Zill de Granados, co-producer of Frontline's The Card Game and award-winning investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker.

Dan Hirst, journalist with Frontline, and associate producer of The Card Game.

Gail Hillebrand, Financial Services Campaign Manager at the Consumers Union, nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports magazine.
