Then Johns Hopkins political scientist Steven Teles will tell us about the rise of the conservative legal movement.

Joshua Holland is off this week, so we're going back to the archives for a best-of show. But it's a good one.

First up, we speak with Thomas Frank, author of Pity the Billionaires, about how zero bankers have been punished for the crash. In fact, many ludicrously blame poor people.

Then we have an interview with Paul Krugman, which we conducted when his book, End This Depression Now! came out. That's obviously still relevant today.
