The market has lost trillions, decimating our retirement savings. Where'd the money go, and who's responsible? MoJo senior correspondent James Ridgeway tackles the topic in "Who Shredded Our Safety Net?", with companion pieces by Pulitzer Prize winner David Cay Johnston ("Rip-Off Artists"), journalist Sasha Abramsky ("No Country for Middle-Aged Men"), and economist James K. Galbraith ("Security Blanket"). Illustrations by Asaf Hanuka run throughout.
MoJo reporter Bruce Falconer ("The FBI's Least Wanted") really hopes he's not being tailed. Photographer Andrew Cutraro is based in DC but says his "heart remains firmly outside the Beltway."
Contributing writer Robert Dreyfuss ("Obama's Great Gamble") is the author of Devil's Game: How America Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam.
Photographer Jonathan Torgovnik ("Can You Love a Child of Rape?") spent three years in Rwanda documenting the aftermath of genocide.
Kevin Drum ("Banks of America") writes on bank nationalization and cats at his MotherJones.com blog.
