Dr. Wolff, thank you for doing these lectures and making yourself available to us. Listening to your lectures, Q&As and weekly videos have helped me understand what is going on in the world around me. It has pulled me completely out of the conspiracy theory thought and has opened my eyes to the real truth, that is obfuscated by the normal day to day conversations and American capitalist propaganda. I cannot thank you enough for opening my eyes and mind.

With a third grade listening ability and a social background of a worker, i am most fortunate to have chance to hear the professors of the most prestigious universities of the world . Thanks YouTube and internet . I don't have kind of stuff a middle class do have domestically but a curiously mind and vacant time to watch the stuff and like / dislike what i find necessary for my class and nation as a whole . All that started by listening professors like you, Richard Wolff . Thank you .

Prof. Wolf is astonishing! Suddenly the gears of 200 hundred years of history are moving in my head.

Thanks Prof Wolff for your work to help people understand what the government & media & academic institutions leave out, hide or lie about. Solidarity as we live through the decline of the US empire. ☮️ I’m supporting JillStein 2024 💚

USA and the world cannot afford to lose this professor to teach the TRUTH.

What amazes me most:
Capitalism destroyed Christianity, tradition, family and nation states and yet is vehemently defended by traditionalists and conservative Christians.

[M.M.Alam.Liberty]

Brave and Brilliant Dr Wolff, a great economist and a truth Sayer 👏

[phaZed]

If I ever became a leader, I'd want Prof. Wolff as my right-hand man.

[adrianthompson]

Richard's wisdom and knowledge make him a benchmark in his field. How refreshing to be informed by someone that actually knows what they are talking about. Thank you fellow.

This guy is brilliant in his presentation. If only you’re intelligent enough to get it, to be as lucky as to be on his level. He’s really dumbing down the presentation so the masses can understand it. He’s brilliant in his approach. I just wish more people would understand what he’s trying to convey. History will prove him right. I’ll never get the opportunity to meet this man but I’d be honored to shake his hand and to know I met such a wonderful human being. Anyway, enjoy the video. ❤

The best hour of my life! I wish this could go on and on! I am now going to go to previous episodes.

[hoggarththewisesmeagol]

Wolff is brilliant. He breaks down the most complicated topics and makes them easy listening and enjoyable

[victorkmlee]

What an excellent description of the current geopolitical and economic situation, unbiased and objective. The world should be worried about climate change, depletion of resources, disease, pandemics, pollution and anything elsewhere that will harm or kill us.

I am from Nepal.Nepal does not have scholars who have in depth understanding of geopolitics.The poeple who are known to be scholars and analists are ready made.I am deeply impressed by Richard Wolff.
