Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Lawmakers responded to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with a complete overhaul of the federal government — consolidating dozens of agencies and creating the Homeland Security Department. There’s been a similar push to overhaul government in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse. We examine the lessons of the post-9/11 reorganization of government, and their relevance in the response to the recent financial disaster.
