The utterly indispensable Bill Moyers spends a lengthy segment on his excellent show talking to two of the sharpest minds who’ve been following the financial crisis since 2008 and before, Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone and Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism:
Welcome to Post Tenebras Lux
A blog dedicated to the notion that, when it comes to politics, it's just got to be better to light one small candle than to keep shooting in the dark.
This blog consists of the personal political maunderings of, well, me. The term Post Tenebras Lux is Latin, meaning "after darkness, light." It was originally the motto of the Protestant Reformation*. And although this blog is not in any way based in or concerning either Christianity or religion in general, I shamelessly horked the Calvinists' motto because I love the notion of progress being akin to the collective struggle to awaken from a great darkness...
* Update: Apparently, as of April, 2013, Post Tenebras Lux is now also the title of a reasonably well-received movie).
