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 episode provides an update on the widening LIBOR scandal and the fine Wells Fargo received for overcharging African-American and Hispanic families on their mortgages. The segment ends with an analysis of why government economic actions favor large corporations at everyone else’s expense.

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.
