  • Anyone else exhausted trying to get people around them to understand how capitalism is the root of all their fears and problems?

    Like damn… I feel like I’m lucky to change the mind of 1 out of every 100 I talk to. It’s just frustrating that so many people can’t connect to the bigger picture beyond all the culture war slop.

    Revolutionary optimism always, but man I feel like I to apply ice directly to my brain


  • I mean it’s possible to that his perspective is just different on some of these things. Wolff isn’t necessarily interested in discussing the intricacies of MMT, more just introducing the concept to wide audience in an engaging way.

    If Wolff were speaking at a panel to other economist scholars, I think he would probably provide more than a 2 minute analysis on MMT.

    I mean, I really think the guy an incredibly brilliant economist who’s goal is to reach as many people as possible with Marxist economic analysis which is a great thing


  • I’m not an economist… but I think Richard Wolff is pretty solid. If absolutely anything, he does a very good job bringing Marxian economics to a wider, western audience.

    There aren’t very many highly educated American Marxist economists who have the kind of reach that he does and can explain very complex ideas in terms that people without economics degrees can understand.

    I just think this comes off very unnecessarily hostile.
