Arianna joined ABC “World News” host Diane Sawyer in an interview airing Tuesday night to discuss the ongoing struggles of the middle class, which is under assault in a variety of ways detailed in Arianna’s new book, Third World America.
“We need to help people in the middle class who are losing their homes,” Arianna said. “The truth is that democracy is not a spectator sport.”
Arianna rejected the notion that the solution would come from the political class, calling instead on ordinary citizens to help save their communities, like some of the people profiled in Third World America.
“When people take action, it’s the greatest antidote to despair,” she said. “It’s always been about people in their own communities taking matters into their own hands, and both changing things and demanding change from our elected leaders.”

U.S. is in worse shape than Greece. U.S. unemployment is on the rise again – it has reached nine point six per cent, the first increase in four months. Some economists are arguing that the Obama administration needs to introduce another stimulus program to create new jobs. But Larry Kotlikoff, professor of economics at the Boston University, believes the U.S. needs to start cutting spending immediately – or face bankruptcy…
The discussion is extremely well-informed. CDOs, CDS, SIVs, ratings agencies and securitization are topics. A+ satire.

The City’s dominance of the world’s foreign exchange and interest rate derivative markets grew during the financial crisis, even as London’s banking sector imploded, new figures from the Bank of England show.
The UK accounted for 37pc of the $4 trillion (£2.6 trillion) of global forex activity in April, compared with 35pc in April 2007, when it was already “the single largest centre” in the world. London also retained its pre-eminence in over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate derivatives, increasing its share of the $2.1 trillion global market from 44pc to 46pc over the same three-year period.

Market Hits $4 Trillion a Day as Investors Chase Profit in Growing Economies
Currency trading volume around the world has hit $4 trillion a day, fueled by investors in the wealthiest nations looking to diversify beyond their home markets in a time of economic turmoil.
The $4 trillion mark represents a 20% gain from $3.3 trillion in 2007, the last time the global foreign-exchange markets were surveyed, according to the Bank for International Settlements. While the survey found continued growth in currency trading, it did reflect a slowdown in the market’s growth from the prior survey, when trading volumes had soared 69% from $1.9 trillion in 2004.
The BIS survey, taken every three years in April, this time provides a snapshot of the currency market during the height of the European debt crisis and at a time when lightning-fast computer models have juiced trading volumes.
