On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick is joined by Bucknell economics professor Matias Vernengo to break down Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos and sketch out what a world dominated by nationalist economics and the dismantling of 20th-century alliances might actually look like for workers and democracy. Later, historian Erik Loomis returns to explore talk of sending troops to Minneapolis and ICE’s constitutional overreach, drawing unsettling parallels to Gilded Age labor crackdowns and Civil Rights Era repression.
