This week’s special hour-long episode of Economic Update features updates on the economic risks and costs Europe faces from deporting or blocking immigrants, as compared to Spain’s prosperity through a pro-immigrant policy; the work of Michael Burawoy, a Marxist sociology professor at UC Berkeley; and how the inflation of meat prices is affected by a four-company oligopoly that controls 85% of the U.S. meat supply.
Then, Professor Wolff interviews economics professor Shahram Azhar of Bucknell University on his recently published critique of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics.
In the second half of the show, Professor Wolff discusses how we benefit from immigrants, who arrive here educated and ready-to-work.
