DESCRIPTION:David Cay Johnston, a reporter for The New York Times for thirteen years, 
 is the author of Perfectly Legal and Free Lunch  - both New York Times' 
 bestsellers.  He is also the president of Investigative Reporters and 
 Editors, and the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize.  In The Fine Print, he 
 reveals just how major corporations work with the government to relax 
 rules, re-write regulations, and enforce only the rules that benefit them. 
 All of this is done without the consumer's knowledge, and it costs every 
 American family money they cannot afford to lose.\n\n"With clarity, 
 conciseness, and cool, fact-saturated analysis, Mr. Johnson, the premier 
 investigative reporter on how industry and commerce shift risks and costs 
 to taxpayers, sends the ultimate message to all Americans-either we demand 
 to have a say or we will continue to pay, pay, pay..."-Ralph 
 Nader\n\n"Everyone pays for a rigged economy, in a myriad of ways," 
 Johnston writes. "It extracts money from the many and concentrates it in 
 the hands of the few. In doing so, it squanders opportunities, wastes 
 valuable skills, costs more in taxes and adds risks. It also helps our 
 economic competitors by making us less efficient. Just as poor health 
 damages the quality of life, a weakened economy damages the quality of life 
 for all, including even the few gorging on the stolen fruit of the nation's 
 economic output."\n\n"Perfectly Legal will make you mad as hell. Even if 
 you suspected all along that the system favors the rich, you're going to be 
 shocked to learn just how badly you're being screwed."- Greg 
 Palast\n\nHosted by Bonnie Faulkner, the producer and host of KPFA's 
 investigative journalism show, Guns & Butter.\n\n$12 advance tickets:
