This week on Economic Update, Prof. Richard D. Wolff gets into another automotive manufacturer caught cheating emissions tests, the reality of Americans’ value on labor unions, how the GOP corporate tax cuts are mainly boosting share prices, worsened inequality in the U.S. and the reality VS the fakery of the Trump/GOP trade war.

In the second half of the show, Prof. Wolff interviews Elizabeth Marciano, a West Va. teacher, about their historic and successful public school teacher strikes.
