The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission hearings are getting deeper into the causes of the crisis yet are not being covered in depth by mainstream media. The Commission’s chair is Phil Angelides, former State Treasurer of California (who is featured on our TV series), and is composed of a balanced group of Republicans and Democrats, including Brooksley Born, the former Chair of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

So far, Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin and former CEO of Citibank Chuck Prince are testifying. Click here for live coverage. – - Ed. Hazel Henderson
