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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 doing the world a service. Love from Ireland Dr. Wolff 🇮🇪

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.

Thank you for your important work.

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.

The corporate fascism has always been operating in the background in the US for some decades now. Before Dick Cheney became VP in 2001, he use to be the chairman for Halliburton. Before the Iraq invasion, his company gave him an insane "exist bonus" before he went to Washington, thus during the Iraq invasion, he gave Halliburton everything that they could possibly ever wanted regarding contracts, huge payouts, policies that favored the company, etc. Tom Wheeler who also use to be a top executive for Verizon became the chairman of the FCC back in 2018. They call it the corporate/government revolving door system, which has been in place for a very long time but is just now recently becoming more visible. I think of it as "fascism-lite"

it's amazing how quickly we could start seeing improvements at home, with even the LEAST resistance against the effort of neoliberalists to monopolize everything...

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.

They said... I'm disable... I really fear what will happen in the future and I'm really pessimistic and realist about it. I use to try to focus on the present and my own possible assets and chances in this society or how I could manage to make it more fair and livable around for others I care and don't care, but, seriously, I'm just shoveling problems and solutions away while I know it's desperate and useless. It will hit us like a train and people in charge are just trying to save themselves... So let's hope and work harder if it's a proposition that could end up better.
