#620 -- Economics and Inequality, Part 2 (R)
Jan. 18, 2020, 2:56 p.m.
Economist Joseph Stiglitz shows that economic inequality in the US is bad and getting worse. The causes are our dysfunctional style of capitalism and a political system that serves only the elite.
Our economic inequality is bad for democracy, bad for the US economy, even bad for capitalism, Stiglitz argues.
Part 2 has the conclusion of the talk and selections from the Q&A. The talk--though short on solutions--is a lucid and very listenable survey of the problems we face--and their causes.

Which Of The 2020 Candidates Is A Friend Of The Workers?
with
Shaun Richman, Program Dir. of the Harry Van Arsdale Jr. Center for Labor Studies at SUNY Empire State College.
. Wage growth is weak for a tight labor marketâand the pace of wage growth is uneven across race and gender.
. Wage growth is being held back by political decisions and the Trump administration is on the wrong side of key debates.
. Working people have been thwarted in their efforts to bargain for better wages by attacks on unions.
. Low-wage workers are suffering from a decline in the real value of the federal minimum wage.
. Black workers endure persistent racial disparities in employment outcomes.
. Employers increase their profits and put downward pressure on wages and labor standards by exploiting migrant workers
Together, these dilemmas underscore that we must understand and address many factorsâincluding the dynamics of gender, race, and immigrationâwhen crafting policies to give all workers a fair shot at achieving faster wage growth and greater opportunity.
Moreover, U.S. employers are willing to use a wide range of legal and illegal tactics to frustrate the rights of workers to form unions and collectively bargaining. Employers are charged with violating federal law in 41.5% of all union election campaigns. And one out of five union election campaigns involves a charge that a worker was illegally fired for union activity. While this outrage has persisted for years under Democratic and Republican Administrations, it has reached new depths under Trump.
Within this context weâll talk about what the top Democratic Party contenders for the presidency are proposing to better the âstate of the stateâ of working men and women, as they ready themselves for the Iowa caucuses. Weâll also discuss who supports and the likelihood of the passage of the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, which is scheduled to be introduced in the House of Representative in early February.

Using psychedelics to treat PTSD and depression
Jan. 15, 2020, 11:30 p.m.
Psychedelics are experiencing a renaissance. Locked in the drugs cabinet in a haze of moral panic in the 60s, drugs like LSD, MDMA and magic mushrooms are now offering promising results in the treatment of PTSD, depression and addiction. Rick Doblin has been at the forefront of efforts to lead these drugs out of exile. He's the founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies or MAPS.
Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 157 Do You Paint Houses Too
Jan. 15, 2020, 9:20 p.m.
An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another five episodes, but with an impeachment trial, cancellation is possible at any moment. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
Trump's adventurism sparks new anti-colonial movement
Jan. 15, 2020, 8:27 p.m.
Phil sets out the background of U.S. adventurism in West Asia, and international resistance. The U.S. has been pushing the envelope in how it confronts armed countries like Russia and Iran, and it's making the world worse. The planned and deliberate assassination of Gen. Soleimani created the current crisis and anxiety. Recall that it is America that considered Soleimani a problem, not Iraq.
It's a bad look for Canada to say 'We didn't like Soleimani, whom the U.S. just murdered' and proceed to make demands on Iran. They aren't going to be very responsive.
Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, knows who to blame for the air tragedy. You can read his statement on-line. The statements by our elected politicians have been comparatively weak. Yet if Stephen Harper's closing of the Canadian embassy had been reversed, some personnel could have warned airport travelers of the flight risk. But the diplomats were gone.
There are those who say they want de-escalation, but they repeat war propaganda like "Soleimani was a bad man." The claims about General Soleimani were false and provocative. Meanwhile, where is the honour? The Iranians admitted their grevious error after three days of investigating the air disaster. They invited the Ukranians to investigate. We never admit our mistakes. Western leaders always blame others for their own crimes.

M. Wayne Knight - Rural American Artist in Cambodia
Jan. 15, 2020, 6:24 p.m.
Wayne Knight, an artist based in Mendocino County, California with over 40 years of experience, traveled very little before he found himself in Phnom Phen, Cambodia in 1995 and 1996. He spent just under a year there, looking, seeing, and painting scenes that previously were beyond his imagination. Wayne Knight also worked with the Cambodian Defendersâ Project in developing computer access to their legal resources in Cambodia. His experience verified his security and, in many ways, enhanced his continuing growth as an artist. Other programs you may enjoy are with Daniel Ellsberg discussing the Pentagon Papers and Vietman, and with Linda Kremer, Esq., a Marin County, California, public defender who took a leave of absence to direct the Cambodian Defenders Project. They both may be found on this website.
Wayne Knight recommends âLiving My Life,â by Emma Goldman.

As The World Burns: Talking Oil With Daniel Dicker
Jan. 14, 2020, 4:18 p.m.
On the heels of being impeached by the House of Representatives, Donald Trump unsurprisingly created a diversion, having a key Iranian General assassinated by US drones. But as tensions in the Middle East mounted, the price of oil somehow remained relatively steady. Why was this the case? This week on Sea Change Radio, we talk oil with energy expert Daniel Dicker. We discuss the current state of global oil markets, learn the important differences between sweet and sour crude, and examine Dickerâs contention that the best thing for the environment would be much higher oil prices.
