Customer Reviews
A Man Who Can Make Even Monetarism an Interesting Topic
It must be said that Doug Henwood is a one of a kind. From his journal, The Left Business Observer, through his books such as Wall St., to his weekly politics and economy show on WBAI, he has a unique knack for being able to tackle even the most seemingly mundane or conceptually difficult aspects of economic theory and practice with a critical eye and to convey with substance and intelligence their political meanings even to those, like me, who don't have the economic background to understand these implications otherwise. Plus, he always has exellent and easy flowing interviews with some top journalists, intellectuals, academics and activists on important topics such as Iran, Iraq, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, US politics, unionization, etc. Lastly, (though I get creeped out from the 80s electro pop or whatever it is he sometimes sneaks in), he is able to fill the show's segues with some great music.
Insightful
Anyone reading this review is already smart enough to know that we need to hear a variety of opinions in order to be truly informed. You should subscribe to this podcast. You will be glad that you did.
Best progressive news and analysis anywhere
Doug Henwood doesn't provide easy platitudes and "preaching to the choir" narrative. His in depth interviews with his thoughtful and intelligent guests provide historical, economic and sociological background on the burning issues of the day.
