What Will the 2025 Economy Look Like?

The Freedom Side hosts dive into this pressing question with Michael Roberts, economist and author of The Next Recession Blog. In this insightful discussion, Roberts shares his perspective on the challenges ahead, including signs of a global economic slowdown. He breaks down key trends shaping the financial landscape, from rising interest rates and persistent inflation to the impact of geopolitical tensions and climate-related disruptions. Roberts also explores the risks and opportunities for working people, emphasizing the need for systemic changes to ensure economic stability and equity.


Tune in for an in-depth conversation on what 2025 might hold for the global economy and how these shifts could affect communities worldwide.

The devastating wildfires in Southern California have claimed at least 24 lives, forced 150,000 people to evacuate, and burned over 40,000 acres. As firefighters work tirelessly to contain the flames, journalist, and activist Sonali Kolhatkar sheds light on the community-led mutual aid efforts that contrast sharply with the militarized response from police and National Guard forces, who seem more focused on protecting property than aiding displaced residents. Kolhatkar also highlights the predatory actions of real estate developers, particularly in Altadena, a historically Black neighborhood, where they’re already seeking to profit from the devastation. “The embers haven’t even gone cold. The smoke is still rising, and the developers are circling,” she warns.
