This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff delivers updates on new U.S. government rules that are universally hostile to international students, the reduction of prosecutions for white collar crime by the U.S. Justice Department while increasing pressures on Shawn Fain, head of the powerful United Auto Workers union, an that there are now over 200 people in the Caribbean and Pacific that have been killed by the U.S. military without lawyers, trials, or judges in show of disregard for law. The second half of today's show features an interview with Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, Professor of Political Science and specialist on U.S. politics.
