Why the U.S. Economy Is Spiraling AGAIN w/ Prof. Wolff

The U.S. economy is headed into a downward spiral, with millions unemployed, prices going up, and myriad other poor economic indicators.

Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.
