We are seeing the culmination of an old order, and people do not know where things are going since the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of Eastern Europe. The winners of the Cold War were Japan and Germany, but the entire world is now in economic crisis. George Bush and the Republicans have no agenda to deal with this crisis. Instead, we need a new and imaginative approach to deal with the debt, nuclear waste, cities disintegrating, crime, and loss of community. Landau says the people can take politics int heir own hands, that we can not sit back and remain consumers just living a vicarious life.|THE WORLD IN CRISIS / Saul Landau| interviewed by Bob DeBolt. - Saul Landau, filmmaker, author, and senior fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington D.C., discusses the world crisis and the political problems in the United States.
