Economic Update Podcast

Economic Update: Government Bailouts, Corporate Take-Overs and Unemployment
Richard D. Wolff, Economic Update/Truthout: "Updates on the impact of subprime mortgage abuses and their impact on racial and ethnic minorities, Japan's nationalization of the Tepco Corp., and the mixed results of the GM and Chrysler bailouts. Major discussions include: (1) Why government takeovers of private enterprise are rarely 'socialistic' and mostly pro-capitalist, and (2) the basic causes and cures for unemployment in capitalist economies. The radio segment concludes with responses to comments on the decision-making process of workers' self-directed enterprises and about claims of recovery in the housing market."
