Downsizing the American Dream

7-9pm PST
The Hammer Museum/UCLA
10899 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90024

After the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Wall Street is back but Main Street still suffers. As the divide between rich and poor in America widens, will the middle class recover or be left out as the economy is restructured? CEPR Co-Director Dean Baker and Les Leopold (director of the Labor Institute and author of The Looting of America: How Wall Street's Game of Fantasy Finance Destroyed Our Jobs, Pensions and Prosperity -- and What We Can Do About It) participated in a discussion sponsored by the Hammer Forum.

UPDATE: Video now available.
