Your Weekly Dose of Revolutionary Economics

Weekly Economic Update
by: Richard D. Wolff, Truthout 

A revolutionary take on a massive set of problems: Capitalism's failings and today's global economic crisis.

Every Saturday, Economics Professor Richard D. Wolff and guests discuss the current state of the economy, both locally and globally in relation to the economic crisis. They focus on wages, jobs, taxes, and debts - and on interest rates, prices, and profits. The goal is to explain why certain economic changes are happening and other changes get postponed or blocked and they will explore alternative ways to organize enterprises, markets, and government policies.

The show is for people who want to understand and change not only their own financial situation but also the larger economy we all depend on.

This project is made possible because of a partnership between Truthout, Professor Wolff and 99.5 FM WBAI, New York City's Pacifica radio station.

Richard D. Wolff: "If you want a society to have the qualities of liberty, equality and fraternity that we celebrate in the French Revolution, or a government by, of and for the people, that Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln talked about, then you're going to have to bite the bullet of changing an economic system that otherwise undermines and clashes with those values."
