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 speak with Professor David Cayla about his latest book, focusing on the decline of neoliberalism and populism. If neoliberalism is disappearing, what will replace it? Is populism a political reaction to the decay of neoliberal economic policies? Professor Cayla is visiting Kansas City from France in the department of economics at the University of Missouri Kansas City. In our Dollars & Sense Debrief, Chris Sturr interviews John Miller about the economic consequences of Trump’s proposal to fund the federal government strictly from tariffs.
