Economic Update: Best Years of U.S. Lie in its Past
[S11 E28] Best Years of U.S. Lie in its Past
On this week's show, Prof. Wolff talks about Chipotle Mexican Grill blaming its price increases on its workers, economist Arthur Laffer's claims that many poor, minority workers "not worth $15/hour." and false claims that lower taxes help economic growth while higher taxes hurt it. On the second half of the program, Wolff interviews August H. Nimtz, Jr. on today's crisis of a declining U.S. capitalism, its impacts and implications.
