Richard Wolff is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst and a visiting professor at
The New School, where he works on economics in the Marxist
tradition. This is Richard’s fifth appearance on Robinson’s
Podcast. In episode #127, he and Robinson discussed some of the
most profound criticisms of capitalism; in #154, they focused on
the myths surrounding Marxism and Marx himself; in #190 they
covered the Israel-Palestine conflict from a Marxist perspective;
and in #222 they assess the end of the American Empire. In this
episode, Richard and Robinson talk about the 2024 election. More
particularly, they discuss the irrelevance of Donald Trump, both
candidates’ economic policies, the Biden administration’s track
record, Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Palestine, the promise of
Kamala Harris, immigration, and the future of the United States.
Richard’s latest book is Understanding Capitalism (Democracy at
Work, 2024).
