THIS Is What’s Wrong With Capitalism! w/ Prof. Richard Wolff
Belief in the idyllic qualities of capitalism may be the closest thing to a national religion we have in the United States. Extolling the virtues of the free market is a near prerequisite for any political figure to win public office. Yet the flaws of American-style capitalism are evident to anyone willing to merely look around — considering issues like homelessness, overwork, income inequality, environmental destruction, social isolation, empty consumerism, and many others.

Jimmy speaks with economics professor Richard Wolff about the boom and bust cycle of capitalism and how worker coops point the way to emerging from all these social ills wrought by the existing system.
