On Economic Update Professor Richard Wolff and guests discuss the current state of the economy, both locally and globally in relation to the economic crisis. This week’s updates include a discussion of the “university is not a business,” the current attacks on the public workforce, and the bankruptcy of Stockton, CA. The major discussion focuses on learning from history of capitalism’s instability and crises. Questions answered focus on the banks, the Federal Reserve and the philosophy of labor.
Trump is silencing political dissent. We appeal for your support.
Progressive nonprofits are the latest target caught in Trump’s crosshairs. With the aim of eliminating political opposition, Trump and his sycophants are working to curb government funding, constrain private foundations, and even cut tax-exempt status from organizations he dislikes.
We’re concerned, because Truthout is not immune to such bad-faith attacks.
We can only resist Trump’s attacks by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
Truthout has launched a fundraiser to raise $45,000 in the next 8 days. Please take a meaningful action in the fight against authoritarianism: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout. If you have the means, please dig deep.
