President Obama promises that plans underway will rescue the banking industry and in turn, save our economy. But will that be enough to stabilize the crisis that for months has paralyzed a nation that has seemed born to shop?

Geoghegan is a Chicago-based lawyer and recent 5th district congressional candidate. He’s also the author of many books, including most recently See You in Court: How the Right Made America a Lawsuit Nation.
