On this episode of the Project Censored Show, co-host Eleanor Goldfield sits down with journalist and political economist Ben Norton to discuss the economy, in particular how workers wages have plummeted to levels not seen since the Great Depression. What’s behind this? And what does it have to do with the gold standard? Ben also explains the AI bubble and how the coming recession will be different from the one that we lived through in 2008. Finally, Eleanor and Ben talk about the failed trade war with China, and why US corporations are falling over each other to make nice with the country most maligned by Trumps economic agenda.

Ben Norton is a journalist and political economist. He is founder and editor of Geopolitical Economy Report, a website that provides independent news and analysis.
