Its journey effectively ended when the Trump administration and the Democratic Congress agreed in December 2019 on a series of amendments to the original text signed on November 30, 2018.2 For purposes of this paper, it suffices to note that while much of NAFTA has been carried over into the USMCA, extensive modernization and innovation were accomplished, reflecting the passage of 28 years since NAFTA was originally negotiated in 1991-92.3 Overall, the

  • The Crime of Our Time, Is a Hard-Hitting Investigation That Shows How the fi Nancial Crisis Was Built on a Foundation of Criminal Activity
    SCHECHTER “Fully living up to his reputation as the ‘News Dissector,’ Danny Schechter goes right for the jugular DANNY in this rich and informative analysis of the fi nancial crisis and its roots. Not errors, accident, market NOAM CHOMSKY uncertainty and so on, but crime: major and serious crime. A harsh judgment, but it is not easy to dismiss the case he constructs.” – “There are many forms of terrorism. And this economic terrorism, as Schechter writes, is perhaps even more dangerous to the nation than the attacks of 9/11.” – CHRIS HEDGES, author of Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle In 2006, fi lmmaker Danny Schechter was denounced as an “alarmist” for his fi lm In Debt We Trust, which warned of the coming credit crisis. He was labeled a “doom and gloomer” until the economy melted down, vin- dicating his warnings. His prescient new book, The Crime Of Our Time, is a hard-hitting investigation that shows how the fi nancial crisis was built on a foundation of criminal activity. To tell this story, Schechter speaks with bankers involved in these activi- ties, respected economists, insider experts, top journalists including Paul Krugman, and even a convicted white-collar criminal, Sam Antar, who blows the whistle on these intentionally dishonest practices. The Crime Of Our Time looks into how the crisis developed, from the mysterious collapse of Bear Stearns to the self-described “shitty deals” of Goldman Sachs. Schechter calls for a full criminal investigation and structural reforms of fi nancial institutions to insure accountability by the white-collar perpetrators who profi ted from the misery of their victims.
