The Dialectic is back!
Season 3 is devoted to debates in economics; why do economists disagree? How can we distinguish between different economic theories?
This episode begins with an overview of the major debates.

No Congressperson asked Bill Gates how Epstein "came to be aware of Gates' infidelities and used them to pressure Gates?" A true answer would clarify Gates-Epstein link and the endless horrors of the Epstein class.

#WolffBites: 100 billionaires and their spouses contributed nearly $10 million to Susan Collins. Collins voted for Trump's huge 2017 tax cut that favored billionaires. We get the best gov't money tries to buy.

#WolffBites: Trump says "I love the inflation." Because it is great for his employer buddies. By prices rising faster than wages, wealth gets redistributed upwards from employees to employers. The MAGA hero.

Amazing: did the committee not ask Gates exactly how Epstein would know of Gates' extramarital affairs?

#WolffBites: Since Trump's election in 2024, first the working class, now also small business face economic decline. Endless US wars plus tax cuts for big business are costing the rest of us.

#WolffBites: US economy not so great now: highest credit card debt in history PLUS highest rate of credit card delinquency ever. Households are desperate: "There's too much month at the end of the money..."

#WolffBites: US savings rate now very low 2.6% (what we save out of our disposable personal incomes). Prices up faster than wages cuts savings across Trump's 2nd term. We risk our futures if we cannot save now. Trump's economy is not "great."

#WolffBites: Krugman says only 19% of Americans (MAGA) agree with Trump that the economy is getting better; the rest think it's getting worse. Yet neither non-MAGA republicans nor democrats have any coherent program to make the economy better.
