MORE ABOUT DYLAN RATIGAN:
Dylan Ratigan is the host of MSNBC’s The Dylan Ratigan Show, one of the highest-rated daytime shows on the network. This make-versus-take, analysis-driven daily broadcast fearlessly takes on the world of politics, money, and the unholy alliance between big business and government.
The former global managing editor for corporate finance at Bloomberg News, Ratigan has developed and launched more than half a dozen broadcast and new media properties. They include
CNBC’s Fast Money and
Closing Bell, as well as
DylanRatigan.com.
Ratigan left as host of Fast Money in 2009, provoked by outrage over the government’s handling of the
2008 financial crisis. Since then, he has dedicated his work to launching platforms that engage and debate the U.S. government on policy, while opening the door for millions to learn more about money’s often poisonous role in our democracy. His first book, the New York Times bestseller,
Greedy Bastards, details
this broken system. More importantly, it illustrates how fixing these problems will release a renaissance of growth and innovation.
Since late September 2011, more than
300,000 people have pledged support, millions of dollars have been raised, and an organization with a staff of a dozen people has been formed under Ratigan’s leadership to pursue the singular objective to pass a 28th Constitutional amendment to separate business and state.
About TCG: The Common Good is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that strives to inspire broad participation in our democracy through the free exchange of ideas and civil dialogue and seeks to find ways to bridge the growing divisions that threaten our nation. We are dedicated to finding common ground and, through forums and initiatives, encourage the civic engagement so essential for a thriving democracy.
