Informative, on point and timely discussion of the market and currency fluctuations this week. Jeffrey Brown is an effective moderator -- his questions are substantive and he doesn't let his panelists smother him or each other.

This overview of the economic crisis packs a lot of information on a variety of topics, from the dollar's recent rise in value to roles played by the U.S. government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in trying to bring stability to our financial markets. Unfortunately, by touching on so many points, this panel discussion is a bit difficult for the average consumer to follow, as it keeps jumping to a new point without developing the previous one. But given the state of the news, that's understandable, and I find this piece very informative.
