Joan Halgren Joan Halgren 6 days ago (edited) Marianne, this is probably your most fabulous podcast to date since it touches the lives of all Americans from shore to shore and beyond! I back everything you both discussed and encourage all young people to work toward a truly cooperative-style democracy! This must happen to make our system resilient: transform capitalism, improve our democracy and save our Earth too--all with the people rising to meet our historic challenge. I am in! 128 Jay Boegs Jay Boegs 6 days ago Question: Are we still Capitalists now that capitalists take on little or no risks but instead are back-stopped by the Fed? Is oligarchy the endgame of capitalism or just a really terrible version of it? 61 Untethered Untethered 6 days ago Dr. Gabor Mate has been saying capitalism makes us sick for some time. 112 Hilary Porter Hilary Porter 6 days ago The young have educated themselves from the internet, not from the bought and paid for corporate press. I have hope for the future that the young can steer society into starting more cooperative enterprises and them being a huge PART of the 21st century economic MIX. That is the only way forward, a revolution of consciousness. It's nothing to be afraid of, just an evolution of the worker power balance into a more democratic take on capitalism. 83 Carol Bevis Carol Bevis 6 days ago (edited) Excellent conversation!!! It feels incumbent on me to add that though yes we have experienced innovation and achievements, much of that came about through exploitation of many, many countries through bribes, threats, election interference and military interventions and support for coups that have caused so much destruction and misery. The other thing is that when I returned to the U.S. in 1984 after over 4 years in Chile, I was appalled at the yuppies and consumerism and total disregard for pollution. I actually thought the middle class was decadent. Now the middle class has been disappearing and we are somewhat approaching what the rest of the world experiences. So, the military industrial complex is now treating U.S. citizens more and more like the way they treat citizens of foreign countries. 83 Robert Murdock Robert Murdock 5 days ago As soon as the left overcomes the delusion that change will come from the corporate Democratic Party just that soon will they organize to create a social system that caters to their needs and concerns 10 reach communications reach communications 6 days ago (edited) Makes sense as our servicemen sacrifice so much. Its sad the support that veterans are left with. Many are homeless and if they don't have families its even worse. The very least they should have all the medical care and mental health care and housing. Sad to find many homeless are veterans that need extra care obviously. 75 wanttooseemore wanttooseemore 6 days ago This was a awesome interview. Thank for all your hard wok Prof. Wolff. 98 Aggie L Aggie L 5 days ago Professor Wolff is looking great, and as always, BRILLIANT! 57 Jen Bloom Jen Bloom 5 days ago When you talk FDR, New Deal, Soc Sec, you have to talk about Frances Perkins. She was his Sec of Labor and first woman to be a cabinet member. Read Kirstin Downey’s “The Woman Behind the New Deal.” 9 Daniel johns Daniel johns 5 days ago Wow. What a beautiful conversation. Richard's an amazing guest, and it seems Marianne has brought out a tone in him I have never seen before. Thank you both!
