  • The Political Economy Of Tariffs

    The Political Economy Of Tariffs
    Jun 18 2024

    In this week’s Economic Update, Professor Richard Wolff devotes the entire program to an analysis of tariffs. We discuss why tariffs are not a worker's issue, why capitalism's continuous swings between free trade and protectionist periods and phases make little impact on workers, and why competing capitalists seek to get workers to support their positions on tariffs.

A common sense look at politics and economics

Professor Wolf is brilliant and down to earth. He has a common sense approach to talking about and examining our current political and economic situation brought on by rampant capitalism. And, more importantly, he seeks and discusses possible solutions to the problem. We're waking up to an American nightmare and our only hope is change before its too late. In a lot of ways capitalism seems natural and right. if I have a great idea and some gumption, why shouldn't I start a business and make money? And who doesn't want to make lots of money? Why should I share it? Or give it away? why should my success have to support the world? And we've all been raised to think this way. Capitalism is king. But just like a monarchy or feudalism or slavery, capitalism has the master, or boss, or king, and the slave, or surf, or wage worker. There are better, more equitable ways. We claim to believe in democracy, then why not in our work place and economy? We have laws in this country to prevent monopolies, but unlike other countries, only a two party system. There's are reason for this. The fix is in. Capitalusm has bought our political system and from the 70's has repealed every tax and regulation meant to temper great and exploitation all while shipping our jobs overseas for cheap labor. So now they own our media and politicians and have sent our jobs away. Whats left? what can we do? Power to the people my brothers and sisters. Labor must unite and fight. its the only way.
