Interviews by B.J.:
Sweatshops on Fire (8 min.) features an interview with Naomi Klein, author of NO LOGO: TAKING AIM AT THE BRAND BULLIES. Klein compares New York's infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911 with "the worst industrial fire in history" at Thai toy factory in 1993.

globalization featuring Andrew Ross, Director of the American Studies
