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 this month’s ECON101, we dig deeper into the government’s unemployment numbers and discuss the reserve
army of labor. In our feature interview, we converse about the politics of Modern Monetary Theory with
Professor Mat Forstater, from the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC) Department of Economics.
And finally, in our Dollars & Sense Debrief, our regular contributor Chris Sturr interviews Professor
John Miller of Wheaton College about Donald Trump’s economic record.
