Experts say that the recession is over, but Americans are still reeling from the effects of the cataclysmic crash of the markets that keep the world economy moving. Having examined the boom before the crash, James Tasini declares it constituted the greatest looting in American history, depositing billions of dollars into the coffers of the already rich, and depriving hard-working Americans fair wages and benefits.

He’ll talk about how to prevent corporate giants and the so-called “free market” from further destroying the economy and stifling the American dream.
