On this week's Global Research News Hour radio program, we take a look at some of the factors shaping American economic policy, its influence on the world stage, and the ability of the American public and rival powers to counter US hegemony. Our first guest Dr. Jack Rasmus will take us through an analysis of the current US China trade war. In the second half hour, York University professor Leo Panitch shares his insights into how the US prevails as an economic power and how todayâs freedom struggles can be won.
