In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers sits down with Parker Palmer, founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal, for a conversation about maintaining spiritual wholeness even as the economy and political order seem to be coming apart. Moyers also talks with The Washington Post’s Robert G. Kaiser, author of So Damn Much Money: The Triumph of Lobbying and the Corrosion of American Government, about how the nation’s Capitol has succumbed to lobbyists and turned government into big business. An essay on the likely cost—in dollars and blood—of sending a surge of additional troops into Afghanistan concludes the program. Broadcast date: February 20, 2009. (57 minutes)
