This week’s episode discusses Maine’s progressive economic changes, how super-wealthy people are abusing the estate tax, how Nestle is profiting while Flint’s water continues to be polluted, how Trump and the GOP are cutting health programs, and how US profits are rising as wage share falls. Also included are discussions of the economics of migration and the economics of coalitions between labor unions and worker co-ops.
