Description

On  today's episode Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the  International Monetary Fund predicting a worse economy in 2023 and  the illuminating comments from CEO  Jamie Dimon  of  JP Morgan Chase, the largest US investment bank. Bankers like Dimon and The Fed (made up of majority bankers) are  pushing the economy toward the brink, despite the crisis this will cause  for workers and families nationwide.

Professor Richard Wolff is  an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You  can find his work at rdwolff.com.
