Is What Wall Street Makes Worth What It Takes

Hosted by

Guest host Conan Nolan takes a critical look at how Wall Street is operating these days and profits being made from financial “innovations” while credit remains tight and unemployment high. We also look at the tax-cut deal between Congressional Republicans and the White House. Also, British police refuse bail and send Julian Assange to jail, and students from Shanghai blow away the competition in an international test of math and science skills.
