Going Left: Lessons for the Left from French Elections

<p>On today's episode, Brian Becker and Prof. Richard &nbsp;Wolff discuss the elections in France's legislature that led to &nbsp;a large upswing in &nbsp;&nbsp;seats won by the progressives and current President Macron's &nbsp;center-right party losing their governing majority. What does this &nbsp;energy behind the left in France tell us?</p> <p>Professor Richard Wolff is an author &amp; &nbsp;co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
