The Economics of US Labor Struggles and Gaza

<p>In this week's episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff discusses the economic repercussions of Western sanctions and how the retaliations they provoke. We then turn to the latest labor strikes and wage & benefit gains achieved by unions at Boeing and East Coast dock workers. We highlight China's dominance of the global energy markets; and U.S. spending on military and police. </p> <p>Finally, we close with an economic analysis of Israel's ongoing violence in Gaza.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D.
