Revolutionary Socialism in the US Today

In this week's episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff delivers updates on Die Linke ("The Left") political party surging in Germany, the errors and omissions in Bessent's anti-Iran sanctions program, and the background of the historic victory of unionized public workers (bus drivers) in Jackson, Mississippi, with the help of Jackson's political leaders. The second half of today's show features an interview with Kshama Sawant, revolutionary socialist, and 3-time election winner of a seat on Seattle City Council.
