Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi, author of Griftopia, demystifies the inner workings of Wall Street and critiques why the U.S. should not have bailed out big banks. Tony- and Emmy-winning actor Jeffrey Wright talks about being honored but also intimidated by his upcoming role in the Broadway production of John Guerre's A Free Man of Color.


Matt Taibbi is a contributing editor for Rolling Stone and the author of five books, including the best seller The Great Derangement and, his latest, Griftopia—an account of the ongoing political and financial crisis in the U.S. Taibbi previously held various editorial positions and won a National Magazine Award for commentary. He also played pro basketball in Mongolia, was one of the first Americans to play pro baseball in Russia and worked as a sports editor for the Moscow Times. The Huffington Post named Taibbi one of its 2010 Game Changers.
