Capitalist Power Shifts: From Britain, to USA, to China - Global Capitalism with Richard Wolff

Prof Wolff reviews some history of empire to speculate on future empire struggles. "You have enormous contrast between these two: desperation on the one hand and euphoric economic progress and wealth on the other. And as has happened so often in history, that extreme was the hint (not that anyone got it) that the reverse might be the future. And that is what I believe is going on." - Richard Wolff This is a clip from the September 2022 Global Capitalism Lecture: China vs. US - System Rising vs. Falling You can watch the full lecture here: https://www.democracyatwork.info/glob...
