they never advanced the monetary policy. >> and why liberals should, too. what does that mean? >> the rhetoric of the free market is something liberals have learned to give lipservice to as a price to the discussion in the united states and that little blurb would apply particularly to this administration, the obama administration. back in the campaign if you look at the candidate's website on economic policy there was a paragraph that was to the glory of the free market and my view is this is something that inhibits liberals and progressives from having a clear idea of what needs to be done and it simply ties their hands behind their back and allows them to be beaten up by conservatives for not being true

believers when in fact the most part they are not. >> the school of thought when it comes to economics is the keynesian school of economics. do you agree with the general principles about how that works? >> i did my graduate studies at cambridge. i identified quite closely he was one of the great imaginative figures who broke the mold in terms of thinking about how to deal with a cataclysmic events like the great depression so it is impossible not to be drawn into that orbit if you read the context of his time. do they all have answers to the present problems i think they don't. we need a more strategic

approach and in particular the message has been watered down so that it becomes a question of us throwing money at the problem and spending aggressively. i detest the term stimulus package. i think it was a public relations catastrophe and very bad choice of framing for an economic strategy. so i think we have to go far beyond that now but it's still better than the alternative. >> what do you mean far beyond that? >> speaking in very practical terms, we have to ask what are our major problems. we have a huge problem of joblessness. we have 14 million who are officially unemployed and another ten or so who would come into the labor force if people were hiring. we have people who the american middle class has been wiped out of its houses largely because of the practice of fraudulent

mortgages that were forced onto low income people in the last decade or so we have a problem with foreclosures and essentially an impoverishment. we have an energy problem and a climate problem, a decaying infrastructure. if you think about those issues you recognize that we need to have a strategy that plays out over ten or 15 or 20 years and sets a framework in which the private economy and the public sector can work together and that's what i think we need to go beyond to say both conventional conservatives and. >> presidential candidates hillary clinton and donald trump has written several books many of which outlined their worldview and political philosophy. democratic candidate hillary clinton has written five books in the most recent title "hard choices," she remembers the presidential campaign and her time as secretary of state and obama administration.

in 2014, booktv spoke with her about the book and you can find that interview on the website. published in 2003, then history is the account of her time as first lady. while still in the white house she released a children's book about letters written to her family pets and also authored a coffee table book about life as the first lady and in her book it takes a village she argued society shares the responsibility with parents or raising children. republican presidential candidate donald trump has also written many books. his first several titles released in the 1980s and 90s are accounts of business transactions and real estate companies. in early 2000 . he released several financial self-help books and in the recent ones trying to get tough and crippled america, he writes about politics and outlines his vision for american prosperity. several of the books have been discussed on booktv and you can

and officials act in closed circles are part of a coalition made of the highest levels of government had a measurable consequences for low-income americans and the nation. however, unintended, some of the choices may have been a different time and different political moments. ultimately, however, the bipartisan consensus of the policymakers fixated on the policing of urban space and eventually removing generations of young men and women of color from the communities to live inside a prison. we can excuse the set of actions and choices these historical actors made a product of their times or as merely an electoral tactic that by doing so, it will continue to avoid confronting legacies of enslavement that still prevent the nation from fully realizing the promise of its founding principles. until recently got the devastating outcome, the devaste have gone on notice. for many americans it appeared as though discrimination and did what the civil rights movement

and moved beyond the system of exploitation. alongside the tremendous growth of american law enforcement over the last 50 years, the black middle-class surface and african americans resumed power with greater visibility from the rise of black mayors in the 1970s displays of wealth and popular consumption to the presidency of barack obama. these promoted discourses of pathology and personal responsibility even further making it seem as though the systematic incarceration of entire groups of racially marginalized citizens reflected the natural order of things. political representation and the fact that some americans have amassed substantial wealth and capital doesn't mean that racism and inequality has ended which i'm sure isn't news to those of you in the room today. average americans grew more affluent after 1965 and the end of the century the net financial assets of the highest bid of the households were $7,448.

only $448 above that of the lowest fifth of white american households. the black middle class has always been concentrated in the public sphere of social services where mobility is tied to the state spending on domestic programs. in celebrating the inclusion championed by the activists and their allies in classrooms across the nation during black history month every year, the fact that many of the critical reforms in the pulitzer period has been negated by the national crime priorities are unrecognized. for instance, nine years after the passage of the voting rights act, the dawn of the mass incarceration, the supreme court ruled unconstitutional to give convicted felons the right to vote. states have removed the convicts from the rolls ever since the 1974 richardson ramirez decision and say nearly 6 million americans most of whom already served their sentences are deprived of the franchise. as a result of the racial

disparities of the american policing and criminal justice practices and estimated one out of every 13 african-americans will not vote in the 2016 election due to prior conviction. because of the disenfranchisement and the policies behind it, but the civil rights game of the 1960s has come undone. i can go on and on to make the already questionable situation worse, the situation tells people that are incarcerated in state and federal prisons as residents of the county where they are serving time and that determines the representations of the areas are homes to the minorities of the u.s. population and home to the majority of prisons. in other words, urban americans do tend to favor democrats lost representation because of the disenfranchisement works into ie district but tend to favor republicans gained extra representation because of how the prison system works. meanwhile, as mobility remains stagnant, the public schools and neighborhoods are more

segregated today than they were before the civil rights movement. you can watch this and other programs on linux booktv.org. here's a look at some authors recently featured on "after words," our weekly author interview program. columbia university professor tim wu explains advertising and former goldman sachs vice president described her experience as an undocumented immigrant. professor sarah explained possible solutions to the rising college tuition costs into the coming weeks, harvard university economist will talk about his research on the impact of immigration on the u.s. economy. gary young editor in large for the guardian will discuss his investigation of gun violence in
