Four of America's boldest journalists met on 13 June 2006 in New York City to break the silence surrounding the topic that dare not speak its name: Class War in America. Paul Krugman, op-ed columnist of the New York Times, takes on the issue of inequality. Amy Goodman, of Democracy Now!, will discuss the latest tricks played by the movers and shakers against the moved and the shaken. And BBC investigative reporter and bestselling author Greg Palast will preview tales of economic conflict from his new book, Armed Madhouse: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Class War. Plus a special guest, Randi Rhodes, from Air America Radio.
