Dissector To Press: Investigate Credit Squeeze | MediaChannel.org


We, at the Lantern, agree, wholeheartedly

Dissector To Press: Investigate Credit Squeeze MediaChannel.org:

"When I started out, my film was going to be about other people's economic woes. Pretty soon I realized I was part of this story of how the credit industry targets poor and middle-class Americans. Not only was I a target, too, but all of us are.
There is a credit divide in America that fuels our economic divide. Put another way, the globalization of our economy is about more than outsourcing of jobs. There is a deeper shift underway from a society based around production, with the factory as the symbol of American economic prowess, to a culture driven by consumption, with the mall
as its dominant icon. "
