Brie asked Richard Wolff, Marxist economist, New School professor, and Janet Yellen's former classmate: Is she right? What about the inflationary effect of military spending? Do alternative ways to address inflation like a wage/price freeze undermine our labor goals? And what's next for the Cornel West campaign? We discuss it all on this week's free episode.
