| Abstract |
"As more and more companies view low-income Americans as opportunities for profit, the 'poverty business' is taking off. In this program, Bill Moyers Journal and Exposé: America's Investigative Reports follows a team of BusinessWeek reporters as they track corporate practices that some say are exploiting the working poor. Bill Moyers then talks with economist Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and New York Times journalist Bob Herbert about the severe economic challenges facing the government and the populace. A Moyers essay on the Iraqi government's $79 billion surplus rounds out the program"--Container. |
