@@ccahill2322 I would take Professor Wolff, regardless of various degrees held or not held versus any capitalist economist in this country. His logic and reasoning are impeccable, as well as irrefutable by any objective standard.
I am so lucky to have the opportunity to listen to two of the most expert people on politics and economics. What a time to be alive - what a chance! Bravo 🎯 👏🏼
NIMA, I hope you consider having Michael and Richard DAILY. Need I say more. Most of us have worn through the Judge and the Duran and Deep Dive, even the Grayzone. We need this analysis, the broad strokes, and as Richard and Michael so well adds, the finer grained details. We need LONGER SHOWS. What say you readers. Like this suggestion if you agree so DIMA gets a good idea of the need some/many of us feel.
Hudson amd Wolff are great on their own, but when allowed to play off of one another they go to a whole new level. Incredible commentary. These two set the worldwide conflict we're seeing today in a clearer and more understandable light than anyone else I've heard speak on the matter, and that's saying something, because I listen to A LOT of commentaries on the matter.
Aside from South Korea, Japan finds itself being squeezed by the US as well. They too are learning how correct he was when Kissinger said “To be an enemy of the United States is dangerous, to be a friend is fatal.”
A lot of Japan's issues are self-made but yeah, it's funny how **FAST** the US throws its closest allies under the bus, economically speaking. Germany, Japan. No warnings, no meetings, just fun surprises There's only one ally that gets away with anything they want.
That quote is the epitome of how the us institutions are corrupted, mindless, with backward priorities and seem to have learned to self select for the malignant narcissist types..what a shame for the peoples of the world, these institutions have no sense of responsibility to the world.
Wolff is very smart man......never heard of him until now but he got it right........imagine the country where government prohibits it's own program (medicare) to negotiate the prices with pharmaceutical companies ,that is US
Richard Wolff real bluntness about the US, Europe and Israel is so right that it makes it difficult for anyone to contest his reasoning. That how it is.
The professor Wolff and professor Hudson shows are my absolute favorite. Funny, and there's always at least a light bulb or two that turns on when I listen to them. Professor Wolff, Please! Keep banging on that drum! 🙌😄
Michael Hudson's analysis is nuanced, informative and fascinating. Richard Wolff's warmed-over Marxism is kinda predictable but still listenable, like a 'golden oldie.' Thanks, Nima, for providing an absolutely vital resource--my first stop on the 'net in my effort to understand something about the world in which I live.
The US healthcare system is ranked 69th in the world according to Statista, just ahead of Mexico and Algeria, despite spending more per head for healthcare than anyone anywhere else in the world. Israel's healthcare is ranked 6th in the world! American taxpayers pay for Israel's healthcare of course!
That's what politicians call "choice" The choice to pay private or receive crumbs. They bring up the word "choice" with schooling and social security as well, until you're basically paying taxes for nothing. Obviously Israel gets the choice to get everything free.
I am always marvelled ar the wit of these two gentlemen and their ability to disentangle the complicated, dark world we are living in. My respects to them and to Nima. ❤❤❤
“You can’t do it all. You can’t terrorize the world and terrorize your own people out of a standard of living that they were led to expect as their entitlement. “ Richard Wolff This sums it up. Put this on a billboard to help drive the message through.
That's why they drove a greater part of the public plus many billionaires from the democrat party to Trump. The Dems produced Trump. They thought they could wage wars on two fronts plus promise the sky and then some (reparations in the billions) to the masses and then could not deliver both so they abandoned their working and poor base and kept the war mongers. When things fall apart a dictator promising another moon and pie in the sky steps in.
My family lives in Sweden. My mum just told me that people in Sweden were asked to save energy and its cost low from noon till 8.00 pm people should try to not use stove and heater as today a KWT of energy and electricity had jumped fro 5 kroner to 12.5 kroner today....etc... A few members parliament had spoken and said that instead of keep sending money to Ukraine and military adventures, we should use these resources to address economic challenges such as this energy challenge facing people here at home. Europe is a basketcase. Sweden is getting a lot of gas and energy from Norway, neighboring country. Imagine others....
Thank you Nima, your such a good journalist and host, asking the right questions, and always giving your guests the floor. Just love these two great knowledgeable gentlemen Michael and Richard, they've summed up everything happening in the world today, in a nut shell. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, professors, while you were talking about the grim situation of the world, you are successful in offering us a glimmer of hope by looking at the big picture, especially the big economic picture.
Regarding potential moves by Russia: Maria Zakarova only a day or so ago issued a warning to Russian citizens to not go to countries of the Collective West... & one of our "Usual Suspects" reported she suggested that Russians in the USA should leave... but I can't guarantee the last part.

They're awake and on the advance. We on the left fail to confront their true motives and the national character, because it's unthinkably evil and fatally aggressive. It's too hard.
Very well analyse! This interview was so well in-depth in details which switched into auto driven mode from both Michael and Richard that Nima do not even had a chance to ask next questions😅
The partitioning of Syria by Israel and Turkey brings to mind the 1939 partitioning of Poland between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR. We know how that ended.
HOLA NIMA : Sound is a little low : Good to see Richard and Michael again. These two economists are brilliant, especially Richard. This breeds millions of people in the middle east who will grow up despising the USA and the West because of what has been done to their families. As Richard said, is this worth it !! And of course this will lead to Terrorism
Always so so incredible to listen to these two brilliant minds interact …both having such retentive memories and the ability to connect “the dots” from their infinite knowledge, both academically acquired and via lived experience, combine to create a stunning insight into the current, real time “geo political, geo economic” times we are living through….I’m sure 👍 Nima that you value all the guest speakers 🗣️u invite onto Dialogue Works …. but I humbly suggest that Michael and Richard are, for you, and 100 💯 % for me, a unique weekly experience
This is definitely a top of the food chain analysis... I have been following Wolff and Hudson for decades. I have to refer you to someone who is also a top of the food chain analyst, and not only that, he's a close friend of Chomsky... Vijay Prashad. Get Vijay please Nima 🌹
Physicians earn twice as much as peers because of the private insurance, there is neither competition nor government regulation. Even Medicare pricing has now been captured.
I have some medical issues that will probably not get better. At the moment I still have good coverage, but my main provider may not be in network anymore in 2025, and I fully expect thing to get worse every year. The other issue that has gotten worse is that it is now up to patients to give the "bigger picture" in mind. I've had to "diagnose" myself on more than one occasion, but reading, picking a relevant doctor and then get treated. It's abysmal. For context I might mention that I'm from a BRICS country, but have lived in the United States for 25 years. Medical care is cheaper and equally good in my original country.
It cost me $3000 in July ,2024 to do a Cataract surgery in the US. My sister in Nigeria last month did the same Cataract surgery for N125,000,which is less than $100 .
I’m heartbroken about Syria. They will do a Yugoslavia with it, you know that. It’s the end of an era. A nation. I’m in floods of tears + cannot bear any commentary apart from the two profs here n Ritter.
Myself, for what's worth(?), I'd like to promote these Two Wise Owls to head the Department of Sanity! Why? Because it makes SENSE! Of Course, Nima would be in charge of protecting the Department of Free Speech! Just a Thought?

American foreign policy is “motivated by making some trouble and then to see if they can fish in the muddy water,” -Sergey Lavrov.
It seems at time they skip the fishing and just throw some dynamite in the water. Picking up whatever floats up to the top.

Wolff's assessment of the situation in Europe is exact!!!! He nailed it!!!!!!
Profesor Richard Wolff and Michael Hudson and Nima thank you for your brilliant program and analysis and understanding the background history
Prof Hudson is right saying American do not know how far can they push until someone pushes you back.
‘Civilisations collapse in the sequence of the failure of their weakest links’. Yes but you can only identify the weakest links in retrospect.
Mr Richard D Wolff thank very much I am so the delightful listening to you sir
Wonderful conversation about a dreadful future !
