Dean Baker founded The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) in 1999. The organization promotes democratic debate on economic and social issues that affect people’s lives. He is a prolific writer- author of many books and studies, and he joins us from time to time.

Recently in a WCPT 820AM conversation, we talked about the US economy with a special focus on Bidenomics. If you are curious about what Bidenomics is and what it means for working people, you’ll want to hear what Dean has to say.

We also talked about the latest on:

* Inflation

* Why the WSJ and other typically business focused media keep saying recession worries are well founded.

* How something is happening here in the upper Midwest. MN and Michigan have repealed their so-called right to work laws, and both states are seeing new investments by the private sector including massive new auto manufacturing investments in Michigan.

* Green energy

* And: how Dean discovered a provision in a recent bill to study changes to drug company patent monopolies.
