ECONOMIC CURRENTS SERIES Discussion

Max Fraad-Wolff & Rick Wolff

Real wages have stopped rising since the mid-1970s. This is a profound, historic change for the US. We will discuss why this happened, the resulting deeper inequalities, and their economic implications.

The format for our Economic Currents Series of presentations and exchanges on critical economic issues of the day is that the presenters will begin with a briefing of background and key facts before opening to group roundtable Q&A.

Max Fraad-Wolff is an instructor at the New School Graduate Program in International Affairs and administrator of www.globalmacroscope.com a new economic news and analysis website.

Rick Wolff is a professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts.
