  • This is Part I of the interview with Professor Richard D. Wolff. Watch Part II here: • 🚨 US HEGEMONY ENDS: Ec...
    Richard D. Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he taught economics from 1973 to 2008. He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University, New York City.
    Earlier he taught economics at Yale University (1967-1969) and at the City College of the City University of New York (1969-1973). In 1994, he was a Visiting Professor of Economics at the University of Paris (France), I (Sorbonne). Wolff was also regular lecturer at the Brecht Forum in New York City.
    Prof. Wolff is the co-founder of Democracy at Work and host of their nationally syndicated show Economic Update.
    In the interview, we discuss a rapid decline in the U.S. economy and reasons for a looming banking crisis. Professor Wolff points to the Fed's plan to prepare for an economic crisis while misrepresenting the data to the public. Professor Wolff concludes that even though it is clear that the United States will face a severe banking crisis and bank consolidations, the "plan" is to let it collapse in hopes of a government bailout.

      Massive Bank Crashes and Economic Downturn are all part of *_their_* design (you know who *_they_* are)
      When bank crashes, *_their banks_* will always be the first to pick up the treasures, and they will leave all the trashes behind, for the government
      When economy goes down, again, it's *_their corporations_* will be the first to benefit

    In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
    "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government".
    A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
    From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is always followed by a dictatorship).
    "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 300 years. During those 300 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:”
    From bondage to spiritual faith;
    From spiritual faith to great courage;
    From courage to liberty;
    From liberty to abundance;
    From abundance to complacency;
    From complacency to apathy;
    From apathy to dependence on the state; - Here we are folks!

      Actually, the Central Bank of China (i.e., the Peoples Bank of China) also causes inflation. "The [Chinese Central] bank increases the supply of local currency in domestic markets, which increases the chance of high inflation." [1]

      Actually, the Central Bank of China (i.e., the Peoples Bank of China) also causes inflation. "The [Chinese Central] bank increases the supply of local currency in domestic markets, which increases the chance of high inflation." (Source: Investopedia Internet Article entitled "How Does China Manage Its Money Supply?")
      Also, the main culprit of inflation are the Central Banks. "Central banks are inflation creators, not inflation fighters..... Central banks are the source of inflation." (Source: Mercatus Internet Article entitled "Central Banks Are Inflation Creators, Not Inflation Fighters")

      If real economy grow as fast as the rate of increase of printing, then there shouldn't be inflation at all. You really think government want to print so much money to cause inflation? Many factors drive them into this apparent illogical behavior, and it has its root in unhealthy underlying economy.
      Government spending into unproductive sector (Such as spending money in less cost-effective military equipment), extreme rent seeking behavior in big business (like the real estate sector and price gouging during pandemic), and bailouts suck money upwards and hinder currency circulation. To keep economy going yet unwilling to tax big business, the government have to print money faster than real economy grow and there you have inflation. And all the above mentioned inflation inducing behavior are typical in any capitalistic economy.

    The US economy is a powerhouse with a diverse range of sectors. The stock market and the dollar have traditionally been safe havens due to their long-term growth and stability. However, potential downturns are part of the economic cycle, and laws are in place to manage defaults and asset seizures. Inflation can be a concern, but remember, certain assets like stocks and Crypto’s acts as a hedge. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months...

    almost everything wolff is talking about came from the govt response to covid. we put everyone on unemployment and all of those people left sectors they were in. they forced remote work and people got used to it. they bought MBS and drove up house prices as a result. they allowed for people to not pay rent so landlords jacked up rents on vacant properties to find money somewhere else. every time they did one thing another thing happened as a result. they became buyers through MBS of housing, so in effect when u or i were trying to buy a house, we were bidding against the fed not other families who couldn’t print trillions of dollars. why do u think so many funds were bidding up and laying cash for housing? because the money was flowing like water. everything was inept govt responses and banks going along for the ride from their sugar daddy.
    what else did the fed do.. they came out and said “we r letting inflation run hot, it’s transitory” and what happened as a result. people heard inflation and businesses ran to stock up on inventory, they depleted inventory and inflation shit up even faster as a result. they created inflation just by jawboning it into existence. we had deflationary pressure until then. i know i own businesses and all my vendors had everything on a fire sale until that speech which changed everything. they shut small business down. i mean there r so many factors being skimmed over i can barely take this interview seriously. i think most of the time wolff skims over and skips a lot of things that dont go w his economic and political ideology.

The culprits ARE politicians who aren't Statesmen and a mismanaged (for personal gain if not for far worse reasons) fiat currency. FIATS always fail (over 3000 times in history) because it is a debt system which, if not backed by a credible amount of gold, collapses under its own weight.
