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. In this episode, Robinson and Richard discuss his
criticisms of capitalism. They begin with why mainstream
economists dismiss Marx and then move on to the basics of
economics, the problems of our capitalist system, and the myriad
social issues we face today.
