Love Richard Wolff and Michael Hudson. Thankyou Nima. Disgusted about Palestine genocide. 😢

[truthaboveall]

the fact we can listen to these brilliant men educating ourselves on the reality we are living is a testament to the importance of independent media & journalists who are willing to forgo monetary reward to bring us what the parrots of empire & highly rewarded content would not

thank you Nima - you’re truly a great example of modern journalism

Russia, China and Iran are on the right side of history, US and Israel are on the wrong side.

I think some of these interviews with the three of you are some of the best of the last 100 years!!!

[morsky]

[CaduJoeySon]

[giovannigentile]

Two Stellar Modern Economists together what a gift 💝

[sarahkelson]

You comfort me so much, Mr. Wolff. You return me to sanity. I feel very isolated living in a world that fears to talk about this sensibly. Most of the time I feel like I live in 1984.

Honestly my favorite duo along with Rhadika Desai and Michael Hudson. They really bounce off each other so well, it’s almost like watching Gandalf and Radagast share their wisdom of what’s to come in the world lol

Them, Dimitri Orlov, Andrei Martyonov, and Dr. Doctorow for sure my favorites.

[jgarbo]

Both right. BRICS is only a beginning...but it's moving, stirring energy, ideas, and action. But what a fight they'll see. But what a reward!

[christophersmith]

Best duo ever. Hahaha. Even though they both had to leave abruptly, it's better to hear them both anytime. Brilliant as usual.

[louminati]

I could listen to Richard Wolff all day.

Thank you, Michael Hudson, for bringing it to our attention what BRICs is stating officially about Western sanctions. “We are deeply concerned about the disruptive effect of unlawful unilateral coercive measures, including illegal sanctions, on the world economy, international trade, and the achievement of the sustainable development goals. Such measures undermine the UN charter, the multilateral trading system, the sustainable development and environmental agreements. They also negatively impact economic growth, energy, health, food security, exacerbating poverty and environmental changes."

IT IS TIME FOR FAIRNESS, PEACE, AND GOOD GOVERNMENTS !! 👍

[dianaaberg]

All the old structures will come down! I hope we will survive and see that!
