Will the Recession Make Us a Better Nation?

Kurt Andersen, the host of “Studio 360” and master of many media (magazines, novels, nonfiction books, film), came by Big Think today to speak about the introduction he wrote to a new edition of a novel by the Nobel Prizewinning author Heinrich Böll.  He also spoke about the good he hoped would come from the current Great Recession.  When he was last on Big Think, two years ago, he spoke about the future of journalism.
