When it comes to economics in America, we have a code of silence. We don’t talk about the personal psychological toll that economic injustice can inflict on people. We speak of capitalism, commerce and business as if they are completely independent of morality. But economic downturns can drive people to depression, anxiety and even suicide. Join me for a conversation with Katie, a young college student brave enough to break this code of silence and talk about how unemployment nearly drove her to take her own life.

On November 15th, Dan McGuire spoke with several members of the Occupy Boston camp. Only a day after police raided its sister camp in New York’s City’s Zuccotti Park, and with winter fast approaching, apprehension was in the air. Dan talked to proud Boston native Bob (not his real name), Harvard University’s Sage, Occupy librarian John and New York’s Joseph about these issues and the occasional tension between the Boston’s blue-collar participants and their college-educated counterparts.

On November 16th, my friend Manisha and I joined up with the ReFund Education Rally and Protest in San Francisco. Hundreds of students, staff and faculty members from colleges and universities around the state marched to bring attention to problems in the California educational system. Their concerns include tuition increases, student loan debt, declining educational quality and lack of representation. Hear from two UC Berkeley students, Sarah-Ann and Zoey, as well as Berkeley Public Policy Professor Robert Reich, as they speak about the Occupy movement.

On November 16th, we headed to Justin Herman Plaza for the ReFund Education Rally and Protest. We joined hundreds of students, faculty and staff from University of California campuses as they protested tuition increases, student loan debt, and lack of representation by the UC Regents. The march wound through the Financial District of San Francisco, eventually stopping in front of Bank of America. Dozens of protesters occupied the bank’s lobby, and soon after police showed up in riot gear to arrest the trespassers. We were broadcasting live as the tense standoff unfolded. Here is the recording.
