Barry Ritholtz, author of “Bailout Nation” says the Obama administration did the right thing in letting poorly run automakers fail and that the same rule should have applied to badly managed banks that took too many risks.

I did a long interview with Eric King of King World:
“Author of Bailout Nation. Barry is a frequent commentator on CNBC, and a regular guest on Financial TV. He has guest-hosted Squawk Box on numerous occasions, and also appears regularly on Bloomberg, and PBS, and Fox.
In this interview Barry talks about why the United States is in the situation it is in today. What went wrong, who were the culprits, Barry also covers a number of other subjects including inflation and how to protect yourself and much more.”
Its a little longer and wider ranging than the typical discussion . . .
Next week, I will at the Huntington Book Revue, discussing Bailout Nation.
The event is on Friday night, June 19, at 7pm. I won’t do a reading, but I will discuss some of the more incredible factoids from the book, how it came to be, was written and rewritten. Oh, and there will be a discussion of the usual bailout related issues, plus a Q&A.
If you live in Nassau or Suffolk County, swing by and say hello!

I had fun doing this podcast with Jonathan Miller of Miller Samuel:
Barry Ritholtz, Bailout Nation, Fusion IQ & The Big Picture Blog
11 Jun 2009 | Economy, Interviews, PodcastsI had the pleasure of speaking with Barry Ritholtz of Fusion IQ and The Big Picture weblog. He’s a wealth of information and never pulls any punches in his characterizations of the current economic mess we find ourselves in.
The Big Picture is the leading financial weblog with must-read content and it boasts a huge following (self-included).
Barry recently released a terrific book: Bailout Nation: How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy. I highly recommend it.
