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.

In our feature this month, we interview Professor Alfredo Rosete, Associate Professor of Economics at Central Connecticut State University. We discuss the popular Japanese manga One Piece, and its implications for labor and environmental politics. Our Econ 101 segment discusses work and debt under the capitalist system. Finally, in our Dollars and Sense segment, Chris Sturr interviews Saurav Sarkar, a writer based in the New York area, about the economics of FIFA’s World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States, Mexico, and Canada in 2026.
