Economist & Professor Richard Wolff gives a compelling economic path
Economist and Professor Dr. Richard Wolff appeared at our KPFT 90.1 FMfundraiser. We titled the event an Evening with Richard Wolff. I became a big fan of Dr. Wolff’s teachings right after the the 2008 great recession. His video and book “Capitalism Hits The Fan” are a must. It gives a complete understanding of the current state of the middle-class and its demise.
Grab a cup a coffee and listen to the speech above. You will understand how the middle-class and the poor got into its current state. More importantly Dr. Richard Wolff’s words will empower you to be a part of the solution.
