Economics For the People
Economics For the People takes you on a journey to explore the transformative power of economics when it is harnessed for the working classes, to advance social justice, and to create an inclusive and equitable society. It is an open invitation to participate in collectively shaping and reimagining an economy that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of the working classes, marginalized communities, and individuals of different gender expressions, sexualities, and abilities. The show features diverse voices, experiences and perspectives that often remain unheard in mainstream conversations about economics, markets and numbers.

Is student debt a mechanism to discipline workers? In our Special Feature with Jason Wozniak, we discuss the interplay between student debt and control of students and workers. In our D&S Debrief, Chris Sturr interviews Michelle Gonzalez and Nick French about how New York State Nurses Association won safe staffing – the right number of staff to take care of patients. And our Econ 101 feature asks – what is behind elite panic over shoplifting?
