This week on HFTF, I interview Richard D. Wolff, professor of economics emeritus at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and author of many books and articles on capitalism and economics. Recently, he is the author of Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What To Do About It (2009). We talk about the origins of the current economic crisis, especially changes in the system since the 1970s, and how we can do better than capitalism… So check out the episode and also be sure to visit Professor Wolff’s website, www.rdwolff.com, for a lot more of his writings!
