Richard D. Wolff & Michael Hudson: Warning Signs: The U.S. Is Losing on Every Front

Analysis of U.S. foreign policy as a symptom of imperial decline. Discussion covers illegal pressure on Iran (currency manipulation, sanctions), extrajudicial killings of Latin American fishermen, and violations of international law. Europe faces impossible choices: pay U.S. "tribute," gut social welfare to fund militarization, or break from NATO. Trump's tariffs failed—U.S. manufacturing jobs fell 70,000 while Chinese exports to the rest of the world hit record highs. Energy shortages (copper, electricity) threaten both AI ambitions and military capacity. The West's desperation contrasts with BRICS expansion and shifting global trade toward China. A civilizational crisis of law, economics, and power. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
