These elites in tandem with the corrupt government will take this country to it's knees like the fall of Rome, My sympathy goes to anyone approaching retirement, you may have reasonable concerns over your pension and if it'll stretch to cover the rising cost of living, bad regulatory policies, bad energy and insane fiscal policies.
No doubt being financially free and not having to worry much about health care and other essentials cannot be overemphasized, making smart plans and setting up diversified investment portfolios is quite essential.
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
indeed, most people downplay the roles of financial planners until burnt by there mistakes. Productivity is optimized and keeping up to date strategies and analysis makes it more lucrative. I've been able to navigate the volatilities and scaled up 880k from 220k with professional guidance.
impressive, I'll definitely check it out, I buy the idea of employing the services of a financial advisor because finding that balance between saving and living requires counsel. Who do you work with?
In China, the government didn't bail out the real estate speculators. As a result, the price of homes in China are going down. Back in 2008, our government bailed out the speculators, and now homes and rents aren't affordable. People can't start businesses renting commercial real estate, many people can't buy homes at these inflated prices, and rents had gone up a lot.
@@danielhealy9725 Exactly. The only people that are paying for it are the people of the U S. We have a lot more homeless people, more people are under a tremendous amount of stress paying these inflated mortgages, rents, and inflation. Some people say my home is paid off so it doesn't affect me. Tell that to my parents who have difficulty paying property tax and homeowners insurance due to property values going up for the past 16 years.
Please don't call Hudson "an economist", as he dispises them. He prefers to be called "a futurist" and he's also an anthropologist.... so he knows the past, and he is very good at predicting the future. He's on my dream team dinner/conversation.
Yep,by the calculus employed by economists a few decades ago,half of us are paying unaffordable rent just to keep a roof over our heads.Thats not only unsustainable ,its gratuitously predatory.I'm thankful for Profs Wolff and Hudson for bringing this up.
It's more than pay for me. I don't want to work the entirety of a year, every year, with the nonsense excuse that I can have "the weekend," or a holiday here or there. It's absurd we're expected to work our lives away in the manner we do. I'm not living to labor FOR SOMEBODY ELSE for the majority of my adult life. We don't have to live like this. Make 4 day weeks the norm, and shrink work hours to 6 hour full time employment days.
Good for you the Capitalists just use and and spit us out to finance a class of lazy rent seeking reprobates,, always scheming to put their fellow countrymen over a barrel for the most basic of life necessities.
I would like you to do a segment on the Gig jobs in America, where "employees" use their own transportation, insurance, gas, insurance, repairs and physical risk, and after all those expenses, many don't even make minimum wage. But many are forced into this horribly exploitative industry where the CEOs are billionaires.
And Billionaire Bombing Butthead Larry Ellison, sole owner of the stolen Island of Lanai, doesn't allow his employees to even look at him. Not in the face or eyes! Like a right Master/Slave relationship!
there are a few dozen stories on this topic in the archives, also take a look over at More Perfect Union which does great pieces on those issues as well
Whoa, hold on there. You really need to study other sources of information. The professor’s statements are heavily skewed towards pro-communism. Balance this out with Hillsdale’s economics 101. Then you will have a better understanding of how it works.

Thank you, Professor Richard Wolff, for all your years of educating those who can hear truth, with without hating and the same for Professor Michael Hudson. Superb critical analysis of economics.
Just checked the statistics --- the largest number of workers in the manufacturing sector, in terms of total workers and not as a percentage of the total labor force, occurred during the Carter administration: roughly 20 million people. So, later than we thought. Pre-Reagan, not coincidentally. The purchasing power of the minimum wage peaked about ten years earlier, around 1968 or 1969. Back then, a couple starting out, both working full time for the minimum wage, could afford an apartment anywhere: San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Boston, . . . literally anywhere.
Exactly the same in Australia. Sydney is the second most expensive city in the world for real estate. Young people have virtually no hope of getting into real estate.
Thanks Professor Wolff you and Michael Hudon are my favorite economist. You explain our economic system quite well. As they say if is complicated it crooked.
They know exactly what's going on, and not going on in "our" Debt Based Economy. But must pretend like they're super, duper Clueless! Meanwhile they laugh their arses off back at the Lodges!

Thinking back about Obama still kinda feels like i was cheated on or something. He was the first politician that I really thought was going to help people. I know he had huge forces arrayed against him, and we had to keep supporting him. I didn't realize it until years later, but when he let the bankers off the hook after bailing them out, and that "beer summit" with the racist cop that arrested Henry Gates in his own house. I didn't say anything at the time, had to keep the faith, but looking back, that was when I started to realize he might be the same as all the rest of the politicians.
the PSL is addressing it with de la Cruz's presidential campaign but it is not addressed by corporate media. "no one" is horrifically dismissive of those of us that are doing everything we can to uplift these ideas
The US is an oligarchy not a democracy. The two factions of the Property Party just have different rhetoric. So, which democracies have committed suicide?
It would be interesting for Dr. Wollf to do an analysis of effective inflation according to income. Since housing costs are a larger proportion of income for the poor, they must face higher inflation; it would be interesting to see this quantified.

It's historically called a Debt Forgiveness Jubilee!

Isn’t it ironic- don’t you think?
Richard Wolff and Michael Hudson. It doesn't get much better. Can't forget Radhika Desai. Would very much like to witness a discussion between Desai and Wolff.
@@EmHotep4520 If one follows Hudson and the HISTORY of "civilization"...he clearly demonstrates that all economic systems are unstable, that wealth flows to those in "control" of it, which is a function of the naturally forming "dominant hierarchy" that emerged from centralized expanding populations enabled by agriculture. The frequent debt jubilees required by this instability for those producing the food as well as potential military service in times of threat was not motivated by altruism but by the stark choice of either forgiving debt or risking the collapse of the "hierarchy" and the benefits and privileges of those who were a part of it. ( so, not rocket science. ) This necessity remained until the "age of conquest" began and wealth could be acquired by other means...( the spoils of war and taxation of those subjugated by it. ) while exposing government as the protection racket it has always been, and the corruption involved by those possessing the power of authority...that can be either "invited" or "demanded" whose motivation is determined by circumstance. When one adds "usury", one has all the elements of the "rentier" economy and the FORCE of government, and its invitation or demand that "power corrupts" which precedes the "industrial production" of "capitalism" that emerged as a result of the "stored energy" made available by "carbon based fuels" and the machines powered by them. So unless you are claiming that "capitalism" has always been present, and the driving force of civilization, that argument makes no sense...as well as being a complete misunderstanding of Hudson's work, which bears no similarity to the misrepresentations of Wolff ...as well as the failure to grasp Marx's expectation that "industrial production" would lead to the gradual transformation to socialism.
