Puerto Rican Crises and Left Political Unity

  • Summary

  • On this week’s episode of Economic Update, Professor Richard Wolff discusses the new law signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom banning "legacy and donor" favoritism in private college admissions to foster a "merit system." We also bring your attention to Javier Milei and his regime in Argentina as they impose austerity measures on the country: the masses will suffer to pay off debts that enriched the elite few in classic ways.

    Finally, we Interviewed economics Professor Ian Seda-Irizarry of the City University of New York about the conditions provoking the rise of the political left and left unity in Puerto Rico.

    Ian Seda-Irizarry is an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director at the
    Economics Department of John Jay College, City University of New York. His work
    focuses on the current socio-economic crisis of Puerto Rico and its relation to the
    island’s first fiscal crisis in the mid-1970s.
