Some economists have been predicting a “double-dip” recession, even before the debt ceiling crisis, the downgrade of U.S.credit, and the stock market plunge. Now,it seems more certain than ever.
WNPR’s next small business breakfast will ask what entrepreneurs are seeing on the ground with orders, revenues, and customers – and what they need to avoid taking another big hit from the economy.
The event is Wednesday, September 14th at the Connecticut Science Center. Breakfast starts at 7:30 followed by a live broadcast of Where We Live. We’ll be talking with small business owners and with Donna Wertenbach, President of the Community Economic Development Fund.

I thought this conversation was one of the best discussions about the banking industry. I was gratified to hear forthright comments about the mentality of the industry especially related to the impact on the housing market. It’s about time someone made the connection between the bailout of banks at tax payers expense and the failure to protect home owner from the fall out. I personally would like to hear more of these kinds of conversations. It makes no sense to me to compuslively quote numbers and downs of the market, report job losses and not dicuss the the role of decision makers who don’t apppear to have any conscience about the impact on other citizens. Npr. promotes itself as being the voice of citizens as opposed to the mechanism of profit promotion by advertisers. As a long term suppoter of public media, i would like to hear more of these kinds of discussion that invilve the impact on the tax paying citizens.
