Economic Update

Capitalism, Lost Empathy, and Rising Addictions (special fund drive episode)

In this week’s special hour-long episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff discusses Trump’s attempts at taking Panama as more evidence of rising colonialism and imperial ambitions, the recent organizing and strike of 10,000 Colorado grocery workers, and corporations and investment funds abandoning DEI. In the second half of the show, Professor Wolff interviews psychotherapist Tess Fraad-Wolff on capitalism’s causal links to declining empathy and rising addictions.
