Recession, inequality and capitalism: A "soft landing" for who?

Recession, inequality and capitalism: A "soft landing" for who?

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the state of the U.S. economy. With the Federal Reserve poised to slow down its rate hikes at least temporarily, is it true that the economy is headed for a so-called soft landing? How healthy or sick is US capitalism? Are mainstream economists missing the big picture?
