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 special feature we journey into the heart of the largest open air prison in the world – Gaza. Amidst the relentless bombardment in Gaza, Rasha Abousalem and Suhaib Azzeh provide insights into the lived
experiences and economic challenges faced by Palestinians in the current onslaught and under the longstanding occupation. In our Econ 101 section, we discuss why the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is indispensable to fighting food insecurity. And in the D&S Debrief, Robert Ovetz discusses automation, job displacement, and the widening gap between technological progress and working class livelihoods.
