This is Richard’s eighth appearance on Robinson’s Podcast. In his last appearance, he and Robinson discussed 2025 and the first weeks of Trump’s presidency, as well as what’s to come. More particularly, they discuss the irrelevance of Donald Trump, his domestic and global policies, China, narratives on the right and left, and the future of the United States.
In this episode, they continue the discussion by diving deeper into recent events, Doge, Elon Musk, the relationship between Trump and Hitler, and important historical Marxists. Richard’s latest book is Understanding Capitalism (Democracy at Work, 2024).
I should like to correct Dr Wolff on something: The Germans didn't use the Deutschmark during the years of hyperinflation. The currency used at that time was known as the Papiermark, which eventually gave way to the Rentenmark. – Mark
