Richard Wolff vs. Jay Martin: Debating the Future of America

In today’s episode, I sit down with Professor Richard Wolff for a
raw, unscripted debate on capitalism, socialism, and the future of
the American Dream. New York City’s election of a socialist mayor
sets the stage, but the conversation quickly dives into the deeper
forces splitting the country in two and the slow unraveling of a
system that millions feel no longer works for them. We go back and
forth on wealth, risk, entrepreneurship, worker power, and whether
the U.S. is inching toward a historic transition far bigger than
anyone realizes. Follow Professor Richard Wolff:
