- October 5, 2020
A weekly show focusing on the economic dimensions of everyday life and alternative ways to organize our economy and politics, with Prof. Richard D. Wolff.
- Author
On this week’s show, Prof. Wolff presents updates on how capitalism gets in the way of fighting COVID-19; systemic racism and COVID-19; why Europe did not allow the mass unemployment imposed on the US; and Wells Fargo CEO’s fake excuse for lack of diversity among bankers.
In the second half of the show, Wolff explores why capitalism fears the modern state and how it controls that state, pushing it into states of high anxiety. He also touches on how kratom, an herb that more than 2 million Americans take every year, can be used in these uncertain times to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
