Getting A Handle On The Financial Crisis

With the financial crisis, it seems everyone’s got economics on the brain—and for good reason.

On Thursday's Up to Date, we talk with economic experts Brad DeLong, Stephanie Kelton, and Stan Collender. They're bloggers who want the public to have a better understanding of how the national economic systems work.

He served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration under Lawrence Summers.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
