Fixing the Future: Making the Economy Work for More of Us

Journalist David Brancaccio, host and senior editor of NOW on PBS, will speak at the regular Sunday Platform of the Ethical Culture Society on Sunday, September 25, at 11 AM. He will discuss with us the topic he explored at the Rededication Ceremony of the New York Ethical Culture Society last October, examining the problems dogging the American and the world economy, and his idea on how it could be steered in a direction that would provide greater benefit for a greater number of people.

David Brancaccio specializes in stories important to democracy and our economy through the eyes of real people. His accessible yet authoritative approach to investigative reporting and in-depth interviewing earned his work honors in broadcast journalism, including Peabody, Columbia-duPont, Emmy, and Walter Cronkite awards. As host and senior editor of public television's NOW on PBS, David brought his engaging, probing style to business and finance, the environment, national security and human rights. His book, Squandering Aimlessly, is a nationwide odyssey to speak to Americans about money and values. David Brancaccio and his wife Mary and those of their children not away in college live in Maplewood.

[If David Brancaccio is called away, we will have a circle discussion on the same topic.]

The Society is located at 516 Prospect St., Maplewood on the NW corner of Prospect St. and Parker Ave. Visit our website at www.essexethical.org for information about the Society.
