I am a truck driver and I love to listen to Mr Wolf while driving. His talks are very clear, concise and simple.

[GaryBetterton]

I am so glad that Prof. Wolff is trying hard to speak the good sense we all need to hear. Thank-you.

If I had ever went to college, I would really have been grateful for a prof like Dr. Wolff!

[RattyA.]

Nobody can tell the unvarnished truth like Prof Wolff. Nobody.

Professor Wolff is the best spokesperson we have. Clear, irreverent (ok, humorous) and spot on, his analyses are perfect for sharing. So I'm sharing!

Like a broken record, this is the song that never ends. When will they ever learn?

It was Julius Nyerere who famously quipped: “The United States is also a one-party state but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”

Thank you professor, your insights are valuable to us who see reality through the chaos of distraction.
Your voice is IMPORTANT. Thank you.

Nothing is going to change. I am not holding my breath.

My Best Friend Used A Gun And Killed Himself At The Age of 54 Years Old. He Could Not Handle The Stress and find a good job in America. That's so sad..

[vivalaleta]

A big plus to the professor for not mentioning my roommate when speaking of the ups and downs of Capitalism.

[janejohnson]

They’re both talking out the sides of there mouths, while receiving from the inside😤

Kamala and Trump greatly differ on the climate crisis/environmental concerns too. And that's major, and why I'll be voting for Kamala. But my 2nd top concern is economic, and there I agree with Richard Wolff that differences are fewer. Though we might be a little surprised since Kamala was astute enough to choose Walz. It could be a sign of some changes to come. We will see.

If Richard Wolff were the presidential nominee, I wonder what his nomination speech would be like.

The Sickness in the American System is the Core Reason.

[jdcjr]

Every time anyone develops an irrational economic input that is profitable, another instability is created.

[markdannebaum]

Economies do what they do - fasten your seatbelts!

[j.d.]

Capitalism and instability are the two sides of the same coin, which by design makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

It is correct! I am a system engineer - i build systems. Economy of a country is a system. Our economic system is extremely unstable!!! A car ia a system. An oil refinery is a system. A computer is a system. One of the important characteristics of a system is its stability. If your car, your computer, your dishwasher, your cell phone would be so unstable as our economy you will never wanted to own them. There are very little mechanisms in our economy that are built into it to stabilize it. Collapses are guaranteed! I am shocked by this reality!!! Rollercoaster is imbedded in our economy. The problem is that everybody agrees on this fact, we are excepting it as Normal. It is a misconception. It can be fixed, but we need to say goodbye to the existing perception of our society. It is not a painful process. We all going to be happier at the end.

I'm 39 years old and have just been fired. What options do I have for a consistent source of income now that I have $425K saved for an early retirement at age 50, $10K in an HSA, and a property that could provide an additional $200K?
