Don't Believe Everything You Read: Was the 2023 Economy Really As Wonderful As the Capitalists Say?

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the lies economists tell us—like the "soft landing" they're claiming the economy had in 2023, when workers nationwide are experiencing sky high prices and low wages.
