Here is a New Deal 2.0 video with Joseph Stiglitz, Robert Solow, and Robert Johnson discussing the financial crisis:

These guys take a liberal/left interpretation of economics. It is refreshing and encouraging to listen to them. Here's the mission statement for the New Deal 2.0 organization:
The latest target of conservative attacks is FDR and the New Deal. Some clearly believe if they can discredit the New Deal, they just may be able to prevent a NEW New Deal and derail policy approaches that capture the bold experimentation of the 1930s. The plan is revisionist history, and the method is a constant drumbeat of distorted ideas until they take on the ring of truth. As Scott Lehigh writes in the Boston Globe (2/23/09) “since right-wing revisionism is really an arrow aimed at the current stimulus plan, the effort to discredit the New Deal is worth examining.”

The examination begins here. A platform for today’s most exciting thinkers, ND2.0 is also a place to find the most innovative emerging voices on the economic issues that affect us all.
