It's Not A Conspiracy, It's Capitalism - Richard Wolff
Economist Richard Wolff explains why American jobs are being taken away by capitalism's drive for profit and how conspiracy theories distract us from the real culprits right in front of us: employers and a system that fights to keep wages low and profits high. "They did it for the profits thereby won and that's how they survived because that's how capitalism works. And so why was this story not told? The story was not told because the blame it finds falls on capitalism and capitalists, and at least since the second World War, any argument that blames capitalism for anything is rendered taboo. So the right wing comes along and what does it do? It protects capitalism, which is what the right wing has always done." - Prof Wolff This is a clip from S12 E26 of Economic Update: The Great Replacement Theory Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel at • Economic Update: The Great Replacement Theory You can also listen to this show on our website or as a podcast on your favorite podcast player. ______________________________________________________________________________________ We make it a point to provide the show free of ads.
