This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff delivers updates on how 60 mega-corporations paid no federal taxes in 2018; why General Motor’s CEO gets paid $29.1 million while at the same time the company fires thousands of workers and wrecks communities; how the Notre Dame tragedy exposes French inequality as billionaires suddenly find money for a church, but not for the people; and how the rising wave of US worker strikes reflect militancy and unity.
In the second half of the show, Professor Wolff interviews Rebecca Lurie, the Director of the Community and Worker Ownership Project at CUNY.
