This week's episode discusses Maine's progressive economic changes, how US Senate documents show the very rich abusing the estate tax, how Nestle profits as nearby Flint's water is still polluted, poverty and "social exclusion" in Greece and Europe, how Trump and the GOP cut health programs and US profits rising as wage share falls. Also included are discussions of the economics of migration and the economics of coalitions between labor unions and worker co-ops. * Download the show _To see more stories like this, visit Economic Update: Your Weekly Dose of Revolutionary Economics_ _To listen in live on Saturdays at noon, visit WBAI's Live Stream_ _Economic Update is in partnership with Truthout.org_ _Your radio station needs Economic Update!
