This week’s episode provides updates on Mexican farm exploitation, Grenoble taking down advertising, US teachers being underpaid and cutting workers’ pensions. We respond to listeners on Harvard and Yale as full participants in capitalism’s defects. Finally, we analyze modern “economics” as a discipline, from Adam Smith to Karl Marx to the present day.

Media that fights fascism
Truthout is funded almost entirely by readers — that’s why we can speak truth to power and cut against the mainstream narrative. But independent journalists at Truthout face mounting political repression under Trump.
We rely on your support to survive McCarthyist censorship. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation.
