Economic Update : Fascism

On this week's show, Prof. Wolff talks about the US' 2021 trade deficit and its implications, the FED's inflation policy dilemma, and the political economy of the Baltimore and Bronx fires. In the second half of the show, Wolff uses the actual history of fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain to analyze the positions and prospects of fascism in the US today.


No! I am NOT a fan of Marxism, but I am a fan of listening to the arguments from ALL sides. It is only if we give ALL sides a chance to air their views can we ever hope to solve our ever-mounting economic problems. Moreover, Dr Richard Wolff is a brilliant, Ivy-league-educated man, who always explains problems so clearly for all to understand. Do yourselves a favour and listen to what he has to say. Keep an open mind: He will surely enlighten you! – © Mark

Sep 19, 2021 • Prof Wolff analyzes the US defeat in Afghanistan and what America’s "defense" policies reveal about US priorities and problems that contribute to the country's decline. "This is a system that has lost even the little bit of rationality it once had. It is driven by specific, particular, what we used to call, special interests who are doing it at the expense of the society as a whole. The defeat in Afghanistan has been a powerful signal around the world that the American empire is in decline." - Richard Wolff
