Capitalism is a fatally flawed economic system that cannot be made to work well, argues economist Richard D. Wolff. One fatal flaw is its instability: for the past 300 years, capitalist economies have crashed every 4-7 years. We are now in the third crash of the 21st century, the worst since the 1920s. The poor US response to COVID--and the right-on-schedule crash COVID triggered--make the system's failures undeniable, Wolff argues.
Wolff is in fine form in these selections from an interview (of 9-15-2020) with the Progressive Canadian video blogger, Mexie. (Cont'd)
First, though: brief eulogies for Connecticut radio program producer and political activist Mike DeRosa and for veteran Middle-East correspondent Robert Fisk. And a funny song on President Trump by satirist Roy Zimmerman and friends.
Mexies video programs are available on YouTube. I have borrowed the title of her interview with Wolff (as well as a fair amount of the audio). Many thanks.
