This episode covers updates on GM recalls, Cuba’s investment in medical training and Germany’s end-all tuition requirements. We also discuss why education on economics is so poor, and look at a report from the Santa Fe movement for public banking. We respond to listeners’ questions on why there hasn’t been a recovery from the crisis and how to think about transition to worker-cooperative-based economy.

Urgent appeal for your support: 5 Days Left

With Trump’s fascist agenda driving the narrative, it’s the duty of independent media to disrupt corporate propaganda.

Yet, at such a pivotal moment, donations to Truthout have been declining. Why? Blatant political censorship from Big Tech.

As we face mounting repression, Truthout appeals for your support. Please donate during our fundraiser — we have 5 days left to raise $36,000.
