Join us for a conversation with Dr. Richard D. Wolff, Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Dr. Wolff will discuss US capitalism’s problems today which include record inequality, economic instability, Covid, inflation, bad jobs, record government, business, and household debts, US political gridlock, and tough global competition. These problems add up to a general crisis of the system. The reaction inside the US – mostly denial – solves nothing. We need solutions such as this: democratize workplaces for a system different from and better than capitalism.
