Billionaire Blames "Socialism" for Capitalism's Problems - Economic Update with Richard Wolff

Описание: Prof Wolff laughs at Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus's claim that modern economic problems are caused by workers, rather than the economic system that organizes them, and explains how these ideas come to dominate in politics.

"The big business donors in this country are more like Bernie Marcus of Home Depot than you might imagine. That's the type. And that's where these ideas that you may find bizarre come from, maybe out of the mouths of the Republicans but the idea, the source, the cause? Big business." - Richard Wolff
