"Capital for Worker Coops": Updates on U.S. workers' productivity rising while wages flat since 2009, U.S. corporations evading taxes, Gallup Poll on poor U.S. job picture, wealth of billionaires enough, if redistributed, to change global economic conditions, rising corporate debt problem. Major discussions of (1) ways and means of providing capital to worker coops, and (2) why technical "progress" excites capitalists and worries workers: the problem is capitalism. Economic Update is a weekly show for people who want to understand and change not only their own financial situation but also the larger economy we all depend on. Hosted by Richard D. Wolff.
