Economic Update: Police and Policing in the US
Summary
<div dir="ltr">Prof. Wolff presents updates on (1) the US public education crisis (teacher strikes, declining quality, insufficient resources) and how it undermines the US's economic future, (2) the absurdity of the government shutdown over an ineffective wall and a tiny portion of the government's budget, and (3) how the schools crisis and the shutdown signal a larger social decline. The second part of the show features an interview with Professor Alex Vitale on his book, <strong><em>The End of Policing</em></strong>, and why US police have grown and changed their functions so drastically in recent decades.</div>
