The Brecht Forum
451 West Street
New York, NY

The recent dizzying events on Wall Street and in Washington have left many progressives feeling outrage, unease, and, frankly, bafflement.

How dare Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs (which raked in profits of $5.6 billion in 2005 under his watch), come to taxpayers with palms outstretched, demanding $700 billion with no strings attached? What should we make of the dire pronouncements that another Great Depression will be upon us if we don't listen to the Treasury Secretary? And what is the relationship between the crisis on Wall Street and the foreclosures and job losses gripping communities across the country?

To address these urgent questions and move toward a concerted progressive response, The Nation and the Brecht Forum are convening an emergency forum on October 10 featuring Naomi Klein, William Greider, Dough Henwood, Arun Gupta and Frances Fox Piven.
