            Liaquat Ahamed is a longtime hedge fund manager and the
            author of "Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the
            World."  He talks with Steve Paulson about the parallels
            between the recent financial meltdown and the events that
            led up to the Great Depression.  Both situations involved
            bubbles, and errors by the Federal Reserve System.

            Woody Tasch, chairman emeritus of the Investors' Circle,
            is the author of "Inquiries into the Nature of Slow
            Money: Investing as if Food, Farms and Fertility
            Mattered."  He talks with Jim Fleming about the benefits
            of supporting locally produced agriculture and "green"
            companies.  Also, Margaret Atwood is a celebrated
            novelist and an astute social critic.  Her latest book is
            called "Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth." 
            She tells Steve Paulson that it's a mistake to think
            about debt as simply a matter of money. Debt is embedded
            in our psyche and rife in our literary and religious
            history.

            Ayn Rand died in 1982 but she's going through a revival. 
            Her books "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged" still
            sell hundreds of thousands of copies. "The Fountainhead"
            also endures on DVD.  And now there's a new biography by
            Anne Heller called "Ayn Rand and the World She Made." 
            Anne Strainchamps talked with Anne Heller about her
            subject, the power of capitalism, and her appeal for
            young people.
