Capitalism in Crisis: Biden's "Relief" Package an Insult to the Working Class

On this week's episode of The Socialist Program's regular segment "Capitalism in Crisis" with Prof. Richard Wolff, we discuss the economic stimulus bill proposed by President Biden and how it falls short of the dramatic steps needed to address the suffering caused by the pandemic.

Richard Wolff is the co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work and the author of many books, the latest being “The System is the Sickness: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself”. You can check out his work at rdwolff.com.
