Economic Update: The Contradictions of 2021
<https://www.democracyatwork.info/eu_contradictions_of_2021>
On this week's show, Prof. Wolff presents updates on Columbia
University grad student strike, the contradictions of 2021, Cuba's
Covid vaccine, Trump clone and French politics' lesson, why US
manufacturing jobs keep vanishing, why capital-labor struggles affect
high and low-paid workers alike: the baseball lockout, and Mitt
Romney's 100% hypocritical attack on Dalio's China investments.
Capitalism Hits Home: Addiction and Desperation
<https://www.democracyatwork.info/chh_addiction_desperation>
In this episode of Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Fraad looks at the
epidemic of deaths in the United States. She examines the five
interlocking forces of our for-profit health care
system—pharmaceutical companies, pharmacy chains, hospitals, insurance
companies, and doctors—that have colluded to bring on the flood of
both Covid-19 and overdose deaths. Fraad argues that the solution to
this crisis lies outside of the capitalist, profit-based system.
Ask Prof Wolff: Worker Co-op and Stock Markets
<https://www.democracyatwork.info/askprofwolff_worker_coop_and_stock_markets>
A Patron of Economic Update asks: "Professor, in your idea of a
gradual transition to 'Democratic or Co-Op Business' from purely
Capitalistic, how do you expect the stock market to react? While I
agree that our current system is broken, I still am highly dependent
on my 401K to sustain my income. I have to think many of us are." This
is Professor Richard Wolff's video response.
Ask Prof Wolff: What Defeats Corporate Plutocracy
<https://www.democracyatwork.info/askprofwolff_what_defeats_corporate_plutocracy>
A Patron of Economic Update asks: "This article says
<https://www.resilience.org/stories/2021-12-15/no-future-under-plutocracy/>business
opposition to Roosevelt's New Deal was exaggerated, and worker power
overstated, and offers some explanation as to why. What do you think
of that theory?" This is Professor Richard Wolff's video response.
