GUEST 1: Ellen Brown
Ellen Brown is an economist and attorney in Los Angeles who is now the founder of the Public Banking Institute – a non profit economic venture to find viable, sustainable solutions to America’s banking crises by promoting people-owned state and community banks. Last year she ran as the Green Party candidate for California State’s Treasurer. Ellen has written extensively about the private financial cartels and the Federal Reserve. Her recent book, “The Public Bank Solution: From Austerity to Prosperity”, introduces a safe soluble public banking alternative to the credit-based system of the current big banks. Her writings also frequently appear on the website of the Center for Global Research, where she is a research associate.

GUEST 2: Guy McPherson
Dr.
Guy McPherson is a professor emeritus of Natural Resources, Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. He has specialized
in forest resources, energy decline and climate change and its economic
consequences. In the past he has also taught at Texas A&M and
University of California at Berkeley. Having become disillusioned with
the American university environment and academia, and after attempts by
university officials to silence his outspokenness about the human causes
of climate change, Guy abandoned his tenured position as a full
professor for ethical reasons of conscience. He is the author of several
books, the latest entitled “Extinction Dialogs: How to Live with Death in Mind.”
He is also the co-host with Mikey Silwa of the radio program Nature
Bats Last heard every Tuesday afternoon at 3 pm Eastern time on the Progressive Radio Network. His website is GuyMcpherson.com
