Richard D. Wolff: Can We Remake Our Workplaces To Be More Democratic?
The economic crisis of the past five years has caused a lot of people around the world to question the very foundations of our system -- is capitalism really the best way to do things? One of the biggest problems, though, is that there seems to be no other way to run an economy. Communism has been discredited—the Soviet Union failed, and China has moved to a strange hybrid that at times seems to take the worst of both communism and capitalism—and no one's got an alternative. Dr. Richard D. Wolff has spent the better part of his life as a critic of capitalism.
