Episode 84: The Racism in the Tax Cuts; An Inside Look At What’s Up In the NAFTA Negotiations; A Capitalist Mag Predicts Blue Wave 2018

The economic system has been built on racism for generations. The recent tax cuts just made things a lot worse—and I talk about that with Michael Linden, co-author of a path-breaking paper about the hidden racism in the system.

I, then, ring up Lori Wallach, the peoples’ trade warrior extraordinaire, for an insider look at the recent earth-shaking developments and fights over the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Then, I review the political predictions for 2018 from the global business magazine, The Economist, which predicts a Democratic win…at least in the House.

Our Robber Baron of the week is the CEO of BT, a global telecom company.
