Updates on changing US retirement ages, Pope Francis’s anti-capitalism, inequality inside countries, unionists march in Rome, public schools being savaged. Interview with independent journalist and writer Laura Flanders of GritTV. Response to listeners questions on Apple Computer’s exposure as major tax evader.
On Economic Update with Professor Richard Wolff, Wolff and guests will discuss the current state of the economy, both locally and globally in relation to the economic crisis.
Wolff will focus on wages, jobs, taxes, and debts – and on interest rates, prices, and profits. We aim to explain why certain economic changes are happening and other changes get postponed or blocked and we will explore alternative ways to organize enterprises, markets, and government policies. Economic Update is a weekly show for people who want to understand and change not only their own financial situation but also the larger economy we all depend on.
