New York Times
editor Sam Tanenhaus examines past and present conservative movements and talks with Bill Moyers about why he wrote "Conservatism Is Dead" just as President Obama took office.
In the first days of President Obama's administration, an essay
from Sam Tanenhaus entitled "Conservatism Is Dead" sparked debate
over contemporary conservatism and its place in modern American
politics.
Digging deep into the roots and evolution of the American
conservative movement, Tanenhaus talks with Bill Moyers about why
he believes that conservatism is dead and how it might yet come
back to life. Tanenhaus is the editor of both The New York
Times Book Review and the "Week in Review" section of the
Times.
And, with public support for labor unions at its lowest point in
70 years, Bill Moyers talks with experts Michael Zweig, director of
the Center for the Study of Working Class Life at SUNY Stony Brook,
and Bill Fletcher, director of organizing and education at the
American Federation of Government Employees, about the state of
organized labor.
