Episode description

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz says the US has “one of the poorest systems of unemployment insurance in the world”—and that our number one priority should be to keep workers connected to their jobs. His book "People, Power and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent" is out now in paperback, with a new preface. Plus: Harold Meyerson has today’s update in the politics of the coronavirus--and we’ll also talk about about the future of labor after the pandemic. Also: Katrina vanden Heuvel reports on solidarity with the front-line workers fighting the virus—starting in New York, where people cheer hospital workers coming off their shifts at 7pm every night. Finally: Where's Paul Krassner when we need him?
