As Aristotle said, “if you would understand anything, observe its beginning and development.” THIS AMERICAN LIFE, the always-rewarding public radio program, recently aired an extraordinary hour on the mortgage crisis, illuminating in ways that too few of the myriad print accounts are… or, absent the voices that animate TAL’s piece, can be.

“The Giant Pool of Money” is available as a free podcast at iTunes or here.

(Full disclosure: I’m a director of Public Radio International, the distributor of TAL… still, this really is an astounding piece.)
