Quote of the week: economist Shiller says people feel "a small group of wealthy people who get bailed out and bribe the government are in charge"
Atlantic Yards Report
Atlantic Yards is a reflection of something gone seriously wrong in the United States, not just Brooklyn.
Economist Robert Shiller, BusinessWeek:
There are many dimensions to trying to restore confidence. A plan to reduce the national debt is a relatively small part of it at this point. The really big thing is, people are very upset. They feel that the country is not theirs, and that a small group of wealthy people who get bailed out and bribe the government are in charge.
