The Missing Economics of the 2024 US Presidential Election

<p>On this week's episode of Economic Update, with the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election 8 days away, Professor Richard Wolff explores the shared refusal of both major candidates and their parties to face and debate solutions to the major problems facing US capitalism in 2024: (1) Inequality, (2) instability and (3) a declining empire. Instead we are witnessing both Trump and Harris compete to be the "cheerleader in chief"  for capitalism. </p> <p>Missing from the discourse is a genuine opposition party that might dare to offer an alternative non-capitalist vision and solution to the system's deepening problems.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D.
