On this week’s show, Prof. Wolff presents updates on 50 years of fossil fuel corps putting profits before science; CVS’ decision to close 900 drugstores as part of decline of US workers living standards; the FBI’s lies around the assassination of Malcolm X; and huge estate tax cuts for the US rich.
On the second half of the show, Prof. Wolff interviews Prof. Melissa Scanlan on her new book Prosperity in the Fossil-Free Economy: Cooperatives and the Design of Sustainable Businesses showing how co-ops are a better bet than traditional capitalist corporations to solve current ecological crises.
