Economic Update: The Death of the Middle Class

Thursday, 13 February 2014 15:18
By Richard D Wolff, Economic Update / Truthout | Radio Segment



Listen: http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/21860-economic-update-the-death-of-the-middle-class


Updates on polls showing most Americans want less inequality; why Tea Party types fixate on government debt; and why French right-wing and other far-right parties gain support. Major discussion on US businesses recognizing the death of the middle class; the contradictions of Germany's position within Europe's economic crisis; and part 1 of an analysis of what the USSR was. Response to listeners on why official unemployment targets are 4-6.5 percent rather than feasible and better 0-0.5 percent.
