Economic Update: Uneven Development a Key Problem of Capitalism

[EU S14 E18] Uneven Development a Key Problem of Capitalism

This week in honor of Karl Marx's birthday over this past weekend, Professor Richard Wolff offers a discussion of Marx's important theory of uneven development as central to capitalism. We show its widespread existence, using examples of it from past and present. We conclude by showing how uneven development helps cause key social problems in capitalism.

In monarchy we had a chance to get a reasonable, empathetic leader one in a while. In capitalism the system only allows sociopaths to rise to it's top.

Thank you, Professor Wolf. I never studied economics for all kinds of reasons, but now I am with you as my teacher. You make the subject both real and fascinating at the same time. Of course, it's all depressing as hell still, but I am beginning to understand why.

The portuguese subtitles are incredibly precise.

I appreciate how Dr Wolff breaks down concepts for a wide audience. demystifying economics which is often portrayed as too complicated for everyday people. Bravo every week 👏🏼 also why does that intro beat go so hard lol

The system is the problem, and the public ignorance is a huge problem.

[aikane]

Inequality is a core value of extreme capitalists

[Madaboutmada]

Oy, it looks like the Ayn Rand trolls have found this channel. Prof. Wolff must be hitting a nerve with logic.

[mariarencher]

BRILLIANT EXPLANATION OF CAPITALISM AND IT'S DETRIMENTAL SIDE EFFECTS ON HUMANITY.

[Joyous]

I wish this wonderful and timely lecture, Professor Wolff, could be heard by every American during these times of unraveling— and awakening! “Uneven development” says it so well!…. Deep thanks! ❤

[egbutler]

Inequality is built into capitalism. We need a steady state, non market economic system.
