Clip of the Week: “Economic Update: Trump, Wall Street, Goldman Sachs”

As the president continues to flex his negotiating muscles with Congress as the new healthcare bill hangs in limbo, we look at our Clip of the Week “Economic Update” for a discussion about the transition from the Obama to the Trump administration.

Watch this recent episode of “Economic Update,” a show that provides a weekly analysis of the economic dimensions of our lives, including jobs, income, and debt, and potential solutions for economic crises. Host Richard Wolff, professor of economics at the New School, discusses the new administration’s ties to Wall Street and Goldman Sachs in particular, research comparing workers’ wages from 1985 to 2015 and big banks’ satisfaction with the Trump administration. Professor Wolfe also interviews Becky Bond and Zach Exley, Senior Advisers to the Bernie Sanders Campaign and Co-Authors of "Rules for Revolutionaries: How Big Organizing Can Change Everything."
