What Tariffs & Immigrants Really Mean for the Economy, with Dr. Richard Wolff

By MariaFebruary 4, 2025Newest Podcasts

Thanks to Project Censored Radio and co-host Eleanor Goldfield  This program was produced on the day when Donald Trump both threatened and postponed tariffs on Mexico and Canada. The interview with Richard Wolff was held five days earlier in the Project Censored studio by Eleanor Goldfield.
Goldfield asks Richard Wolff how these tariffs might be aimed at you and me rather than at Mexico and Canada. She also elicits an extraordinary explanation of how immigrants have built the wealth of the US – rather than having been a drain.
Richard Wolff is visiting professor at the New School University in New York City; and the founder of Democracy at Work and host of their nationally syndicated show Economic Update.
