Today I organized a media/blogger conference call with George Soros to discuss his concerns about the current financial crisis, which he thinks is the worst America has experienced since the 1930s.

It was a fascinating discussion of his new book, distributed electronically, titled The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means -- and his outlook for 2008.

Matt Stoller captured much of the discussion today. Devin Stewart blogged about the Soros reference to the bursting of a "super bubble" here. And also Foreign Policy's "Passport" Blog. And. . .The American Strategist.

And the mp3 of the New America Foundation/Soros Conference Call is here.
