## Resource

This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff devotes the first half to New York's new Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He discusses how and why he defeated so many efforts to block him, and what he needs to do to succeed, deliver on his campaign promises, and create a lasting legacy of his time in office. The second half of today's show features an interview with Sabrina Salvati on her new documentary film, "REMOVED: Black Erasure in Boston." The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D.
