THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 76: Predicting the Coming Crisis w/ Professor Jack Rasmus

I was recently sent a message by show economist Arash Kolahi about a blog I should read.  It was Dr. Jack Rasmus' blog where he lays out what could happen if the current Trump administration tries to circumvent democracy and have a coup to take power into not just one more term, but many more!  I asked Arash, if he could hook up Dr. Rasmus to come on the show.  Dr. Rasmus obliged, and I'm glad we could have him on.   A little about Dr. Rasmus: Dr. Jack Rasmus, Ph.D Political Economy, teaches economics at St. Mary’s College in California.
