We're hosting a session at New America Foundation this afternoon with National Economics Correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, Peter Gosselin, and CSPAN's BookTV on the shift of financial risk to individual Americans. Peter's new book, High Wire: The Precarious Financial Lives of American Families, explains how during a quarter century of steady economic growth the consequences of illness, job loss, or separation can devastate the security of a family more than ever before.

Another superb presentation at New America where the new and brilliant ideas so often appear first. I highly urge all TWN readers to listen to it or read the transcript.
