Financial markets indicate improvement as wealth increases for the wealthy, but surveys tell us that three in ten Americans have faced difficulty paying the rent or mortgage since 2008, and that one in five have lost a job in this period, said Dr. Scott. What is the real state of the economy? Who is winning and why? Who is losing and why? What can be done about it? These are the questions posed and answered by my informed guests. Seen by over seven million households, Exploring Critical Issues has earned three Telly Awards, the cable equivalent of the Emmy.
