Hi, from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Glad you all are back, The world needs you.
Hello from London, Canada, Richard we need you, following up regularly...
Thank you - we need a voice we always can depend on for clarification
Tremendous lecture on the mess we're in and the way out.
The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic Under Rule of Law. It is not and will NEVER be a mob-rule Democracy. Democracy is anti-American. Learn Constitutional Law and certainly don't be advocating anything other than that on US Soil. Real Men and Real Women don't stand for Pathology and Propaganda. Grow up. #kjb #thechamp
Way out?
The world needs you Professor Wolff
Some group of economists have projected that both the U.S and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, define as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because china and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
My major concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can’t afford to see all my savings crumble to dust.
It’s a delicate economical season, so you can do nothing or little on your own. Hence, I will suggest you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance.
That’s why I always make it a point to speak with a financial advisor before choosing any investments. Apparently , I’ve been using one since the pandemic, using profits oriented tactics and minimizing risks as a buffer against inevitable downtrends.
In addition they have valuable access to insider knowledge and analysis, making failure virtually impossible for them. I’ve made over $1.5million passively working with John Desmond Heppolette, my advisor for over three years now.
Your advisor really seem to know this stuff. I found his online-page when I made a google search of his full names online, read through his resume, educational background and qualifications, it was really impressive. I left him a note and booked a call session with him..
Working with a financial advisor who has worked in a solid financial firm for a long time, will actually set you up for success in life. I'm delighted I was able to scale from $86k to $220k in this red season because my financial advisor John Desmond Heppolette, figure out defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns..
Thank you, Prof. Wolff, you make everything comprehensible.

The World has always needed People like Mr Wolff...Knowledge To Spare ❤❤❤❤
I'm currently studying at a top business school & I can confirm we are not exposed to ANY of these ideas!! Not even in our econ or ethics classes, which is a damn shame. Keep fighting the good fight Prof Wolff and spreading alternative viewpoints. The world is always listening.
What do the ethics classes in business school teach?
You aren't? That's strange...of course, maybe the problem is the "ideas"
you are referring to do not employ words with a meaning that is consistent
with those words and meanings used in your institution.
One might ask why are you there in the first place?
@@jgalt308for the degree, the paper that dictates employable value in our capitalist society unfortunately
@@tylerblue9691 If that is true, wouldn't our professor have done
so for the same reason? And having done that, also engaged in
teaching the same things for the same reasons? Of course, if he didn't
do that, then the claim that the things taught at higher educational
institutions would no longer be true, as he himself, would have proven that
claim false.
If he didn't, one might have reason to question both his integrity and
courage, since he clearly would have demonstrated that he failed to
abide by his own beliefs. And he also had tenure, which would make
that choice even more questionable.
Why wait until one has secured a comfortable retirement...before beginning
to speak the truth?
There are great studies out there about worker cooperatives. I wish coop economics were more widely taught!
This content should be all over the mainstream media
are you frqzy!? they prefer to keep their masses in ignorance
The "You are an oppressed victim" with accompanying "moral posturing" IS all over
mainstream media...but there is FIERCE competition among the
various factions...and the Wolff variant is NOT winning.
That would never happen that does not give main stream media ratings
Mainstream media just repeating the same in different words. All media was occupied by anti-capitalist bullshit.
Yeah, you're right. But good luck with that!
Once again Prof Wolff. From Namibia and enjoying how your lecture helps me view my country's dealings in the global energy market and how this translates to relieving inequality. Please keep this up and it is appreciated.

I've felt the decline since 2008. Never recovered from that crisis. I graduated from college in 2009 and every employer who was hiring demanded an internship to demonstrate experience. After a year of trying to break into my field I gave up and went to grad school. After my master's I couldn't find anything in my field again so went and did a PhD. After my PhD I finally got the job I had hoped to get after my bachelor's, but the salary isn't livable. I literally do nothing but eat, sleep, work, commute, and pay rent. It's a miserable existence and I feel absolutely no hope that I will ever find a better life. It should be fun to try to dedicate my life to student loan repayment, especially since they threw my federal loans into collections DURING my PhD!
I was in highschool in Chicago during the 2007/08 crisis. It was traumatic. I had teachers crying in class because they were getting let go. The German teacher who taught my then boyfriend had to go. Then funding to the school itself was somehow in jeopardy. So they rounded up all the kids doing poorly (me included) and had us CHEAT on some standardized tests so that our school could get money. Meanwhile at home my stepfather lost his job at IBM and never got a job that good again. We moved to Nebraska in 2010 because he couldn't find work in Illinois. Yea I'd agree that life hasn't been the same since 2008.
I was 38 when the banks sunk the economy. It's always the big money that causes this, always. Capitalism is just one crisis after another. Not sure where this downward spiral leads to or ends. I've given up on any hope for the life my parents enjoyed. Workers need to unite. Think about how they keep trying to divide us by race, white and blue collar, sex, gender, religious, and anything else they can come up with. I just laugh when someone mentions my white privilege. Really? My grandfather's maybe had that. Life's hard and it's about to get worse I think. Blaming your peers won't solve a damn thing. We have to stick together or it will be even worse.
Eat, sleep, work, commute, and pay rent - add beer drinking and it's welcome to the life of the working class that was abandoned by academia except you don't have to break your back every day too.
America is Babylon and this is only the beginning of the pains, famine, authoritarian state, poverty, overpopulated, etc.
never recover from 2008? yeah cause the rich glibalist got RICHER sending All the jobs overseas. All of our money we work for goes over seas besides the few slave dollars OUR authority allow is to keep. How the owner are aloud to move to basic slave labor and child labor and get rich is madening to me, then demacrats will fine businesses that stay in america, so they push even more businesses over seas. like with solar panels. then politicians give OUR ENEMY (China) Money for green energy even though they commit genocide. if i was committing genocide, they sure wouldnt give me money but china NO big deal. ITS NOT US THATS RUNNING THESE POLITICIANS, IT LOOKS LIKE CHINA TO ME. PAY POLITICIANS MONEY TO SEND JOBS AND TAX PAYER DOLLARS AND EVEN LET THEM CREATE A DEADLY VIRUS ALL OF THE PEOPLE DOLLAR. THEY ARE THE NAZIS
From Spain 🙏 thank you very much for this magnific speach!
For the record, the reason that the BRICS alliance countries have been so successful as capitalists is that they already had or put into place authoritarian states. (Brazil/Bolsanaro; China the CCP; India Modi; Russian/Putin; S. Africa is a special case and is largely part of this alliance because of complex historical processes). Point being modern global capitalism moves more quickly and "works better" with an authoritarian state. Because capitalism and authoritarianism have the same goals: to collect power into a small group--one in the form of economic power, the other in the form of political power.. Real democracy is antithetical to capitalism because democracy's goal is to spread power laterally. Socialism is the economic system that fits with democracy's goals because socialism wants to spread economic power laterally.
Bolsanaro got voted out and been replaced with lula and there still in bric?
Keep up the straight talk richard. We have had enough of narratives and bullshit
One day you will maybe begg for that narrative.
@AndyNL
That same narrative that we have today is the same one that is putting itself on the risk of not being there later on.
How can you guide a sick patient through his treatment by telling him that he is not sick at all and no treatmentis needed? It will just keep him naive and unaware of his disease. Leading to possible complications to the point that when the patient finally learns that he is sick, it is either too late or the only available treatment is harsher and more painful than if earlier informed or detected.
Thanks richards sir your,s subject did me some aware of capitalism and im listening from india and im interested about communism... Gratitude ❤️❤️❤️ love you
communism is a miserable existence where you can only buy what you are allotted, if you're lucky enough to find it in stock after you stand it line for a few hours, hot water is a luxury you're allowed for a few hours a day two days a week, blackouts, almost no heating during winter (our radiators froze sometimes), no entertainment and constant fear of saying the wrong thing and being overheard by the wrong person.
After going through that for a few years, you'll find even this perverted form of capitalism a paradise in comparison.
Communism is the only way humans will survive the global devastation that rampant capitalism has wrecked on the Earth.
1 of the smartest video I watched on youtube, thank you Professor!
Absolutely true. And the USA are so good at telling other countries want they can and can't do.
Almost every other country is a statist piece of crap anyway.
Ironic, all the anti-globalism people still want the united states tax payer to send soldiers all around the world for capitalist wellbeing but that is not national or democratic wellbeing.
As they should
But now no one is listening anymore. Soon the world will be free of America.

You’re doing the world a service. Love from Ireland Dr. Wolff 🇮🇪
Professor Wolff you are the Presidential Candidate the American working class deserves. I hope that sooner than later you announce your candidacy and give us a chance to rally around you and spread the message of Democracy @ Work.
@consciouseffortmedia I agree he would make a great president but do you honestly believe those who don't just theorise but actually do conspire let Mr Wolff get anywhere near power? Watched it here first hand with Corbyn who didn't know friend from foe and if he had been elected im sure his health would have diminished...sorry but its going to take struggle,,,struggle we haven't seen in 50 years
The President don't run America
AMERICA IS MYSTERY BABYLON
For sure.
@@bonitajanssen745no
Thank you for challenging both Western private capitalism and Chinese state capitalism! The problem is not whether capitalists or state capitalists own production, but how the firm is organized itself; whether the working masses have material, democratic control over their workplaces.
You can have democratic control of your workplace when you buy your own sht.
More importantly, how the value created is shared more equally. Not possible nor desirable to have complete equality of income, but at least the inequality is not so extreme as in the US now where the top 10% have 90% of the wealth.
Actually, a free market is the solution. We have monopolies everywhere. Including governments monopoly on the use of force.
@@shawnkalin9337 Monopolies are the result of free market forces. It's what happens EVERY TIME.
Also, force (violence) is a natural monopoly, and a government is by definition the entity with the control over it. It's got nothing to do with the free market, it's just a fact of reality.
@@Akumasama True! However, eventually those monopolies are broken. Usually when a group, a new paradigm or nation rise up.
Glad to see you back professor Wolff
Professor Wolff is telling us the truth.
Good to see your teaching and analysis online again. Thank you for your work and influence. 👍
Every defense of Marxism is based 100% on logical fallacies. First of all, socialism is framed by the mantra "property is theft". At least they made their arguments without blatant attempts at gaslighting. Marxism is pseudoscientific socialism. Dogmatic socialism. Nothing but easily refused dogmatic circular reasoning. There's also a difference between "hands off" capitalism and "authoritarianism" and so forth. Hands of capitalism is exactly the same as Constitutional rule of law. Take back all of the Federal agencies and you have hands off Capitalism in the USA again. The people that lost the Civil War created the KKK and Progressive (Marxism) in the same moment. Antitrust law that evolved at the same time is not doctrinaire anything. It was "progress" in the rule of law and protecting the public from truly dangerous concentrations of power. But notice that Antitrust law doesn't require the deprivation of due process of the law. Everything "Progressive" since then is about erosion of the rule of law in favor of rule by council/party decree. IOW, Soviet Communism.
The other thing that Marxists ALWAYS leave out is what the actual conditions were when some group revolts and puts together some form of "socialism". Monarchs always held all mineral rights, no matter what "property" rights they allowed. And without an independent judiciary that can save owners from tyranny, you can't actually have "hands off" (rule of law) capitalism. If the US actually believes in sensible "socialism" they would have studies of how much mineral wealth is already held on Federal lands and then come up with rational ways to raise funds and manage those programs. And public schools would not teach fearmongering nonsense but would instead by funded through a voucher system paid for by "socialized' mineral rights taken from Federally owned lands. Think carefully before launching a "but Capitalism" trope because the key problem in all Marxist exposition is the failure to understand the difference between an explanatory trope and a verifiable fact. And lastly, there's a difference between "central planning" aka "social justice" versus "rule of law" economic interventions.
Not one claim in this video stands up to the scrutiny of anyone that knows what is being discussed as mere theory versus verifiable facts of reality. Even this alleged "hegemonic imperialism" is a feature of Marxism, not rule of law capitalists that understand the truth about how wealth is created and shared "fairly" under "democratic" rule of law - that requires an enforceable "due process" and "property rights" regime that the Communist Manifesto itself claims is the very root of the problem. Only Marxists in the US and Europe think that Ukraine must be defended from "Russian tyranny" because every sentient human knows that the fight for political and economic hegemony over Ukraine is between Russia and China. The CCP and many in Ukraine want "belt and road" alignment and Russia can't openly argue against China in Ukraine. LOL. What is wrong with you brainiacs? It's not that complicated. China is a competitor for hegemony unregulated by a voting public. You can't appeal to the CCP for "fairness" because it was long decided that Communist "fairness" means the wholesale destruction of all private property rights. Only Marxists want a "big" Social Justice" regulatory state.

Thank you for your important work.
I wish more people would understand this.
me too.
I love your lectures and we all love you Richard. You have a unique ability to simplify economics for the layman. We , those of us who can think for ourselves, are acutely aware of what is going on living in and under the capitalist system, we feel it acutely, the pain of exploitaion, the struggle for survival, the greed of those few who for the moment are controlling our lives. I am 70 years old and would love to see this corrupt system demolished and a socialistst based system implemented and as you rightly say democratization of the workplace is a key fundemental part of that. I hope that I live long enough to see this happen. Keep up the good work and god bless.
Just remembered this quote from Anand Giridharadas~ “The people who have the most to lose from change can't be placed in charge of reforming the status quo.”
Thanks Prof. for constantly reminding us of the dangers of this unchecked form of Capitalism.
Just wanted say thanks to professor Wolff and all the great folks at democracy at work who makes this content possible.
Professor Wolff and his books started me on the journey to eventually become an anarcho-syndicalist.
I am open to similar economic systems, rather those that dismantle hierarchies in favor of a democratic horizontalism in whatever form that may take.
In all aspects of society. I look forward to this type of content moving forward. Keep up the great work everyone!

Wow ur explanation is awesome 😎 thank you 🙏
Are you familiar with the One Small Town strategy, based on the principle of Ubuntu Contributionism with Michael Tellinger? I've recently stumbled upon it. Check out the website and even just read the first page, it's very similar to what Richard talks about with democracy at work and using cooperatives to our advantage. The means of production goes to the people, the fruits of our labor is shared, sustainably, and all profits are also shared equally. The difference is in this strategy, each person's 3-hour a week contribution to a community project is valued the same. We all do better, when we all do better.
Good to hear of a fresh start. Critique of systems is essential to social progress. Truth the best tool.
thank you Professor Wolff. I deeply appreciate your knowledge, insight and compassion ❤

У американской учёной братии, которые занимаются историей, экономикой и политикой, есть одна сволочная привычка - своему народу говорить одно, а в кулуарных беседах совсем другое. Так вот, то, что профессор Вольф вещает вам со своего видео сайта, это ещё не значит, что он в мвою болтовню верит. У подобных профессоров в Америке есть заказчики на разные темы. Это может быть правительство США, а может и крупные корпорации. Так что профессор Вольф и ему подобные типы всегда на своих сайтах выполняют взятые на себя обязательства по контрактам. Видать в Западном мире имеется много наивных людей, которые готовы слушать всякую чепуху, как от профессора Вольфа так и от подобных ему.

Thank you professor, you are very much appreciated!
Welcome back!
Professor Wolff explains his subject so everyone can understand it and this is very important.
Excellent presentation. Late stage capitalism is becoming more and more desperate.
So what are the stages of capitalism? How many are there?
What is the first stage of capitalism?
Mercantile Capitalism: This stage existed from the 14th to the 18th centuries and was characterized by trade and exploration, with nations seeking to accumulate wealth through colonialism and overseas trade
.
Classical Capitalism: Also known as competitive capitalism, this stage emerged in the 19th century. It was marked by the rise of industrialization, free markets, and the pursuit of profit through competition
.
Imperialism: This stage, identified by Karl Marx, refers to the expansion of capitalist economies into foreign territories through colonization and the establishment of empires
.
Late Capitalism: This stage is characterized by an acceleration in the turnover of capital, concentration of wealth, and expansion of credit. It is often associated with the increasing influence of finance and non-traditional productive areas
@@jgalt308 Haven't you heard of the robber barons, child labor, sweat shops, monopolies:, ruthless strike breaking: all early stage capitalism. I could recommend some readings if you like.
@@michaelkenney2857 One you missed out....Droit du Seigneur. The right of the Lord of the Manor to sleep first with the newly married woman, before she slept with her husband.
@@michaelkenney2857 I've heard of them...but tell me about it...start with Standard Oil.
Was it a monopoly? Did it raise prices because it could as Wolff claims? Who was Ida Tarbell
and why did she write the book she did?
Ruthless strike breaking? By whom? How about ruthless strikes?
As for early stage capitalism, it would appear according to the post above
you, that that occurred much earlier...so you can fight that out with him,
and we'll see how it ends.
But the questions regarding Standard Oil are a good start...have at it. The answers
will have a bearing on those OTHER robber barons.
Capitalism has no limitations, crimes are on the increase as a result of maximisation of profits, Which is cardinal requirements of it
Capitalism does have many limitations, but that's the problem with capitalists, they don't understand that these limitations exist.
Capitalism is about instantaneous mutual transaction. That's all. "Growth" and "profit" are not requisite to capitalism occurring, only socialists focus on these narrow views of voluntary interaction usually to imply some bad outcome is happening.
Free market voluntaryists (capitalism is too loaded of a term invented by Karl Marx) just do not care about "limitations". Freedom is the only goal. Nobody is entitled to any economic outcome. Whatever you can do regardless of what others do is your right.
They are , capitalism is about having profit all the times , you keep on growing other wise you would be left out and Human beings can't grow forever.

GREAT TALKING POINTS AS USUAL PROFESSOR WOLFF .. 👍🏾💯
Agreed 100% , Mr Professor .
Great presentation-It reminded me of a long ago interview the erudite Chinese Foreign Minister ,Chou en Lai had with an American journalist on the occasion of Nixon's trip to the Peoples' Republic of China.The iconic Chinese revolutionary was asked for his opinion of the Bourgeois or French Revolution.He slyly replied,"Its too soon to tell."I'm certain that Prof Wolff recalls that comment in "real time."peace.
Exactly.
Having been around for thousands of years, the Chinese take a long-term view of history.
Hooray for our professor.
Thank you so much for making this proffessor!
Thank❤🌹🙏 you, professor Wolff! Your labour is not in vain😊
Professor Wolff is the one person that should be at the helm of America's economic system. This is a fabulous presentation. Thanks! ❤
Why? Many people have voiced concerns regarding the "problems"...what is it
you believe Wolff would do to solve them?
@@jgalt308 Every economic system has "problems". The current system is corrupted which is obvious to the brain dead. As for what Professor Wolff would do, he spells it out rather thoroughly. That is, if you're listening. But capitalist pigs rarely listen, they're too corrupted by the almighty dollar.
@@jgalt308 You don't listen to the videos. We can tell by your vapid comments about nuttin' honey.
Very great summation of our current predicament sir well stated, thanks
This is an essential and beautiful lesson in both history and economics that I believe everyone should watch.
Says the person typing his comment to a multi billion dollar platform (UA-cam) while using a computer built by slave labour in China. Ah the irony.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, knowledge and insights.
The transition to genuine socialism is a military operation, not because socialists want it to be, but because capitalists and the armed forces under their command won't peacefully allow socialism to be implemented. Military operations require strong leadership to organize the defense forces needed to take over the means of production and to protect those means and revolutionary people. Any army with strong leadership and discipline will be at a major advantage over one that doesn't have it.

You’re a treasure Prof. Wolff.
So glad I dabbled upon your great lecture and have quite got stuck on your intuitive knowledge and extraordinary ideas. Thanks again, Prof. Wolff.
Thanks for your persistence, Professor Wolff! We need you and "Democracy @ Work" as I challenge my local grocery chain, Metro, that started a loyalty program that has different prices for "members" and "non-members." You are the response - I would want to be a "member" of a food cooperative that fires the Board of Directors and makes the employees and customers part of that Democracy At Work you have described and made "common knowledge" to so many who can seek to improve their working lives.
@@jgalt308 As YOUR response is NOT related to my comment, I am mystified by the J Galt name suggesting Ayn Rand belief system of Marlboro Man Heroic Individualism, such a key part of "marketing" the American delusions of totally, anti-social attitudes claiming "socialism" as a disease, when the whole internet and all the equipment making it work is the result of humans "working together" in very well-organized "groups" of like-minded persons, all being equally interested in communicating in this human invention of millions being interconnected and interdependent. Hey, Free Bird, keep on flying above it all, but the energy and the infrastructure is all inherited from "working people."
@@jgalt308 True, nothing that occurs in your comments makes a bit of difference. Sooo good of you to admit it!
" I challenge my local grocery chain, Metro, that started a loyalty program that has different prices for "members" and "non-members.""
Lol this is what you get worked up about?
@@MilwaukeeF40C I am sorry if you don't recognize "psychological warfare" manipulating people into slaves of corporate Fascism.
Yes, that "members" thing shows the extent to which businesses like to jerk their customers around. Food coops were the coming thing for a few decades, but are quite rare now. Americans are very passive, and becoming more passive by the day, and won't take the reins into their own hands.
So glad I found your channel! You are the best sight on you tube
Dear Professor Wolff, Please save the World for us.
Can’t wait
Thank for your vision.
As a french, moved to see this yellow vest behind you with what should be our national motto (yes solidarity should be there also). Peace
I listen to professor Wolff every night before bed. Now he gives voice over to my dreams. And tinges them red.
Super inspiring. Thank you professor Wolff
Thanks Professor Wolff. It’s so sad that almost all these multi billionaires are literally destroying the fabric of United States of America. Their selfishness could end up destroying everyone.
🙏❤️🙏
They are really ripping apart the whole world. They can't tolerate anything to stand in the way of maximizing profits. Human rights? No! Democracy? No-way! The environment? Not a chance! Peace...? Nope...War makes fast cash!
This is modern slavery…hiding behind political-correctness, intellect and ethics….where the majority have been enslaved to be preoccupied with job-hunting and to keep one’s job, while those at the top are the slave masters with totally different lives.
Billionaires are doing what society asked them to do. You like youtube, that's why you have it.
@@XOPOIIIO Society asked billionaires to steal their wealth, health and prosperity, pollute the planet and wage endless war?
Who knew?!
@@XOPOIIIOWe have it because it's profitable. If it wasn't we wouldn't get it.
Wow mr wolf 🐺

Truth be told I have been taking this face value and very emotional reaction in my part.
I appreciate you gracias 🙏
Attentively learning from you insights,Thanks professor Wolf
Proff Wolff is back and in peak form. Like, that was so good I feel like transcribing it.
Worker Democracy is as important as political democracy.
Worker democracy IS political democracy.
@@Stray7 and neither one seems to be making any progress.
@@jgalt308 That is because democracy was destroyed by sociopathic, fascist capitalist, totalitarian oligarchy tyrants, who rule with an iron fist!
Finally a rational explanation of what’s happening
Thank you for prof Wolff

I got Charlotte E. Carter 's
recommendations on CNBC News in
November 2021 and started following her lead and made $77,400 in one month. Lost my job in January 2022 and right now I'm back on top again and I always win with her guidance.
Charlotte Evette Carter knowledge and professionalism it's at highest level, her focus integrity and analyzing the market is underrated.
Charlotte's trading strategy is also working for me at the moment. I'm pushing it already up $62,000 in profits so far...
My friends and fam now trust Charlotte 100% because i can be able to further my education without any financial help from them
Thanks
I just love Professor Wolff. Period. Many people think socialism is uncool but the plight of the disadvantaged against the status quo is a constant in every part of the world regardless of race, religion, etc.
Thank you once again, Professor Wolff! 🌻
Like it not Richard Wolff but you're my leader. Thank you for everything you do ❤
Professor Wolf, once again you have articulated an excellent Commentary or Lecture on Contemporary Changing Capitalism. Your lecture or presentation was so comprehensive; thank for your Due Diligence on this particular topic. It was a real Blessing to hear you express your interpretations on this subject matter of Capitalism. I have never heard anyone else tell such a profound Truth with historical illustrations connecting Finance, Economics and Politics in conjunction with the Authoritarian State thereby unraveling the harmful synergistic effects of Capitalism on various nations and societies. What a fantastic delivery on how we have gotten to this state of affairs with the demise of the American Empire. Feudalism took us to the Root cause of our problem; it was the origin of your critique; the way you constructed and explained your arguments and showed similarities was excellent, No I am not trying to grade you! I am saying what great Chronological format of time, space and history you articulated; Relevance with uncovering of supportive Evidence being revealed and presented. Thank You once again Dr. Wolf.
Prof. Richard Wolff, I came across this video today and wasn't sure if I wanted to listen, but then the thumbnail of your photo helped me remember seeing your interview with Kim Iversen and then I clicked immediately. :) Excellent, excellent podcast. The oligarchs are NOT going to help the common people, it is up to us to start creating new systems and brilliant folks like you are paving the way for a new world by discussing such complex topics. So, THANK YOU. Even though it pissess me off that our own government DO NOT want to help the common people, I'm looking forward to the new world that is going to be better because when people have had enough, and say ENUF IS ENUF, things WILL CHANGE. :) In another podcast, please talk about the things that the Chinese are doing that is bringing so much prosperity to their people. It is good to borrow ideas that are working and implement in our own lives instead of hating some country because they are doing well.
Thank you Professor Wolff for this thought-provoking presentation.
Significant to Chinese economic development is the globalization movement among corporations in the 1980s that focused on moving industries to China where these industries could pay pittance wages? Chinese technology workers in the 1980s were brought to study at universities like Carnegie Mellon so these workers could bring knowledge back to China where China could then develop the economy they now have.
Yup, but it was a short, brief ride...and those businesses are now
leaving, and China hasn't reached parity yet...and in terms of per capita
income...it is about 20 % of that in the U.S.
Interesting times!!!!
@@jgalt308 No. They are not.
And while Per capita, China is lower than USA, most of the USA's numbers are false.
And China continues to grow.
@@antediluvianatheist5262 I'm always impressed by the
"no it ain't"... fact free arguments.
Even Chinese companies are moving supply chains out China to avoid geopolitical risks. Here are the 6 places they're heading for instead. Even Chinese manufacturers are shifting parts of their supply chains out of China to manage risks. That's because manufacturers are moving to near where their customers are.Apr 22, 2023
Why are manufacturers moving out of China?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - China's supply chain issues, COVID-19 restrictions and political climate are causing local businesses to pull manufacturing out of the country. This follows a global trend as big international businesses do the same.Jun 15, 2023
Are Chinese companies leaving China?
As Ties to China Turn Toxic, Even Chinese Companies Are Breaking Them. Companies are moving headquarters and factories outside the country and cleaving off their Chinese businesses.Jun 15, 2023
Are foreign companies moving out of China?
BEIJING (AP) - Foreign companies are shifting investments and their Asian headquarters out of China as confidence plunges following the expansion of an anti-spying law and other challenges, a business group said Wednesday.Jun 20, 2023
What companies are pulling out of China?
Two years ago, Samsung moved its Chinese manufacturing to Vietnam. Hasbro has moved its Chinese production to India and Vietnam. In July, Volvo announced that it would open its first European factory in 60 years, in Slovakia. (The Swedish carmaker is owned by Geely of China.)Aug 2, 2022
@@jgalt308 China has the strongest economy in the world. They are growing, not shrinking, like your puny brain.
@@antediluvianatheist5262 China's GDP per capita is just below that of Albania.
I suppose the Albanians are fudging the numbers too.
Love your work. Thanks.
Morals, ethics, decency, and virtue have left the building in the US.
Very enlightening lecture .An honest to goodness reporting of professor Wolf ! Love you and thank u !
Thank you for speaking the truth
