As I indicated yesterday in the post "Why American Industry (And Its Future) Matters", we have the privilege of having author William J. Holstein today at Emptywheel and Firedoglake to talk about his excellent book "Why GM Matters: Inside the Race to Transform an American Icon".http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/files/28/files//2009/02/41ekxccmil_sl500_aa240_.thumbnail.jpg
