Americana - 05/09/2010

Americana talks to the conservative economist, Thomas Sowell, about how he believes America's greatness is being taken apart piece by piece. The social historian, Anna McCarthy, explains the impact of television on the American people - from the classic broadcasts of the 1950s to reality programmes today. And the clarinetist, Andy Statman, demonstrates his theories that traditional Jewish music has influenced the classic American sounds of jazz and even Country and Western.
