LISTEN to an Exclusive interview: http://lbishow.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=361:the-age-of-greed&catid=51:americas-best-selling-authors-series  

Prominent Trial Attorney, Jack Girardi, Ptr Girardi Keese, and Producer Steve Murphy interview award winning Author Jeff Madrick on his new book, Age of Greed, The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America, 1970-Present .

Jeff has appeared on Charlie Rose, the Lehrer News Hour, Now with Bill Moyers, Frontline, C-Span, Book Notes, CNN, CNBC, CBS, BBC, and NPR.  He has also served as a policy consultant and speech writer for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and other U.S. legislatorsJeff is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books, and a former economics columnist for The New York Times. He is editor of Challenge Magazine, visiting professor of humanities at The Cooper Union, and senior fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and the for Economic Policy Analysis, The New School.  His last book, The Case for Big Government (Princeton), was named one of two 2009 PEN Galbraith Non-Fiction Award Finalists.   

He is also the author of Taking America (Bantam, 1987), and The End of Affluence (Random House, 1995), both of which were New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Taking America was chosen by Business Week as one of the ten best books of the year. His book,  Why Economies Grow (Basic Books/Century Foundation, 2002), emphasized the need for active public investment and a broader understanding of the causes of growth than was popular in academia at the time.  He has written for many other publications over the years,  including The Post, The Times, Institutional Investor, The Nation, American Prospect, The Globe, Newsday, and the business, op-ed, and the Sunday magazine sections of The New York Times.  He is a regular blogger for The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast.

The Age of Greed is a fascinating and deeply disturbing tale of hypocrisy, corruption, and insatiable greed. But more than that, it's a much-needed reminder of just how we got into the mess we're in-a reminder that is greatly needed when we are still being told that greed is good.  As Jeff Madrick makes clear in a narrative at once sweeping, fast-paced, and incisive, the single-minded pursuit of huge personal wealth has been on the rise in the United States since the 1970s, led by a few individuals who have argued that self-interest guides society more effectively than community concerns. These stewards of American capitalism have insisted on the central and essential place of accumulated wealth through the booms, busts, and recessions of the last half century, giving rise to our current woes. Intense economic inequity and instability is the story of our age, and Jeff Madrick tells it with style, clarity, and an unerring command of his subject.

Watch:  http://www.insiderexclusive.com/show-content/314-train-accidents--the-rachel-duncan-story.html  

In the last 10 years, there have been more than 30,000 railroad crossing collisions resulting in more than 3600 deaths. And in almost every single case, the Railroad Companies fight "tooth and nail" to "blame" the victim for causing the accidents....which in many cases is actually the Railroad companies fault.

Last year Louisiana ranked "4th" nationally in vehicle and train fatalities and "1st" in the "Most Accidents per Public Grade Crossings" Train accidents and, specifically..... railroad crossing accidents.... can have devastating effects on motor vehicles. When a train hits another vehicle -- a car, truck or SUV -- the results are catastrophic. Often, these accidents and deaths could have been prevented.Figures from the National Transportation Safety Board state that approximately 60 percent of all railroad crossing fatalities occur at "unprotected" or passive crossings.

Passive crossings are those crossings with only a railroad crossing sign. The statistics also state that "Protected Crossings"..... those crossings with warning devices such as lights and gates,,,,, represent only 20 percent of the public railroad crossings in the United States. The National Transportation Safety Board publishes Some national statistics you should know........      

333 million -- Number of vehicles that cross railroad tracks every day 50% -- Percentage of vehicle/train collisions that occur at crossings with active warning devices (lights, gates, bells) 40x -- Times you are more likely to die in a crash with a train than you are to die in an automobile crash 2  Hrs-- Average time, in hours, between each incident where a vehicle or pedestrian is struck by a train.

The National Transportation Safety Board also lists The 10 most dangerous states for railroad crossing fatalities in 2010

- 26 Illinois railroad crossing accident fatalities in 2010
- 25 Florida railroad crossing deaths
- 24 California railroad crossing fatalities
- 19 Indiana railroad crossing deaths
- 17 Texas railroad crossing deaths
- 15 Louisiana railroad crossing deaths
- 13 Mississippi railroad crossing deaths
- 12 Ohio railroad crossing deaths
- 10 Alabama railroad crossing deaths
- 10 Missouri railroad crossing deaths

In this Insider Exclusive Special, "TRAIN ACCIDENTS - The Rachel Duncan Story", Rachel's lawyer, Michael Cox ,partner at the law firm of Cox Cox Filo, Camel & Wilson successfully got justice for Rachel. By proving that the tracks on which the Train  that rendered her a quadriplegic and killed her sister was obstructed by overgrown vegetation. Most importantly that the railroad company was and  is responsible for assuring that train crossing warning systems are active and in working order. Too often, railroad companies allow weeds, grass, trees and other vegetation to overgrow near railroad crossings. This overgrown foliage prevents motorists from seeing an oncoming train and causes these deadly catastrophic accidents.

We hope you'll tune in to ""TRAIN ACCIDENTS - The Rachel  Duncan Story"   this January  and join us on our TV website to watch it again.

Michael Cole, a noted lawyer who held several key state government positions during his long legal career, has died. He was 67.

Cole's death was announced Sunday by the Teaneck-based law firm of DeCotiis, Fitzpatrick & Cole, but further details were not disclosed. The Morris Township resident had been a partner with the firm for many years before recently retiring and was still serving as a counsel for them.

During his governmental career, Cole served as chief counsel to Gov. Tom Kean and also had been a first assistant Attorney General, where he handled matters ranging from school funding to gubernatorial powers to gaming regulation.

A graduate of Rutgers Law School, Cole was an attorney for more than 40 years. Among his survivors is his wife, state Supreme Court Justice Jaynee LaVecchia.

A Massachusetts Appeals Court judge has been named the winner of the 2011 William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence.

Justice James McHugh received a unanimous nomination for the award from the justices of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, along with letters of support from chief justices and community leaders.

The prestigious award is given annually by the National Center for State Courts to a state court judge who exemplifies integrity, fairness and professional ethics. John Roberts Jr., chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, will present the award to McHugh at a ceremony at the high court in November.

The National Center for State Courts said that during his 26-year-career McHugh has been an innovator and court leader on issues affecting the courts, including information technology, managing case flow and judicial ethics.
