After the siege of Gaza began Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sought to assuage the public about America’s investment in Israel: Don’t worry, she said, we can afford two wars — both the war in Ukraine and Israel’s bombardment of Palestine. Brie asked Richard Wolff, Marxist economist, New School professor, and Janet Yellen’s former classmate: Is she right? What about the inflationary effect of military spending? Do alternative ways to address inflation like a wage/price freeze undermine our labor goals? And what’s next for the Cornel West campaign? We discuss it all on this week’s free episode.
