Could we see a repeat of the 1929 stock market crash? Bill Moyers talks with two veteran market watchers—William H. Donaldson, former chairman of both the SEC and the NYSE, and Robert Kuttner, longtime Business Week columnist and cofounder of The American Prospect magazine—about the current economic landscape and the risks of financial industry deregulation. Also on the program: author Anouar Majid, who discusses the need for greater intellectual diversity among Muslims in his most recent book, A Call for Heresy: Why Dissent Is Vital to Islam and America. An excerpt from a previous interview with Doris Lessing, recent winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, is also included. Broadcast date: October 12, 2007. (58 minutes)
