This episode covers food insecurity, oil disaster economics, politicos going to Wall Street, billionaires buying homes, education in the UK and how the US sustains elites. We also address an employers’ movement for a four-day work week and the history of socialism vs. capitalism (part 1 with part 2 next week). We respond to many listeners’ questions.

Press freedom is under attack
As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.
Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
