Here’s “Epic” by Faith No More. I spent way too much time as a kid watching this video trying to figure out what was going on in it. Note: you’ll probably have to click through to Youtube to watch it.

I read Joe Stiglitz in grad school and what he says in this op-ed is good as usual, but overdue which is a little unusual. What he says also doesn’t go far enough in thinking about a larger picture than a near-term recovery, but more on that later. As for the American Dream imagery, it’s long past time to retire it.
