Monopolizing inflation; David Bacon’s wall of photos

Broadcast on August 25, 2022

While hosts Chris Garlock and Ed Smith are off this week, check out The Heartland Labor Forum’s show:
The Federal Reserve is trying to slow inflation by raising interest rates while at the same time corporate profits are at an all-time high: is our monopolized economy really what’s driving inflation? Then, what do you know about the border wall between the US and Mexico? In his new book More Than a Wall, photojournalist David Bacon shows how the border is more than a wall that separates. It’s the people and their history of common struggles against racism, labor trafficking and a broken immigration system. Also, Safety First with Mary Erio.
