2018_04_06 (Isa Blumi, Richard Wolff, Yatziri Tovar)

Are fears of a global trade war between the US and China overblown? And is Donald Trump playing with fire in his relentless quest to impose tariffs on Chinese goods? On our show we'll get a progressive view of this trade battle from Dr. Richard Wolff, prolific author and Marxist economist. Then, we'll find out what is at stake in the US Census Bureau's announcement of a citizenship question on the 2020 Census. My guest Yatziri Tovar will explain the fears that will likely drive immigrant communities to skip the question. Finally, Isa Blumi joins us from Stockholm to discuss his new book Destroying Yemen, which puts the brutal US-backed Saudi war on Yemen into a critical historical context.
