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 Marxist economist Richard Wolff about the US
election that was held on November 5th. He emphasized many important points, including
that in the context of the decline of US imperialism, the space has opened up for
demagogues like Trump to rail against immigrants and cheap Chinese imports. In our
Dollars & Sense Debrief, Chris Sturr converses with Nick French about the evolution
of GOP economic policy from Nixon to Trump; what are the continuities and changes?
