Simon Johnson On Bank Bailout Plan (Audio From 'Fresh Air' - really worth a listen)

Simon Johnson, professor of entrepreneurship at MIT's Sloan School of Management, former director at the IMF, and co-founder of the excellent blog BaselineScenario.com, was on NPR's Fresh Air yesterday. He discussed the nuts and bolts of nationalization, and why it's the right response to our economic crisis. Terry Gross is not always my favorite interviewer, but I think she asked some good questions in this one.
