You don't have to go to a university to learn about economics which is extremely difficult . Mr Richard Wolff does it so well and I love to watch his presentations. One thing for sure. He is extremely honest and tell it as it is. Thank you Mr Wolff.
He speaks easy-to-understand language for complex global issues.
That should be a warning, not an endorsement.
you're one of the few who can be trusted with analysis
What is there to trust in? What can you do with it?
Take a pill? Build a fall-out shelter?
@@jgalt308 Trust in terms of being unbisased, turd breath
Grow an ulcer?
😂😂😂 Europe is built on colonial loot and nothing is there for growth in Europe and bankrupt like USA and China they all are broke
Thank you all for your relentless efforts in educating the working class!! Solidarity and Peace from Arizona! ✊
Wouldn't that mean that increasing unemployment would be a cause for celebration?
Привет 🩷Аризона!!!
A brilliant teaching from Professor Richard D. Wolff. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I am always so impressed Proffesor Richard Wolff with your clear straight forward talking and your brilliant analysis of the whole glibal situation
Richard seldom fails to offer the most relevant and fascinating perspectives on the world economic conditions I've encountered on YT, but what I find most striking is how concisely effective his presentation style is. He presents his ideas without reading directly from text and yet, his sentences always flow without any hesitation or second thought. I don't think I have ever witnessed him waste a single "umm" or "uh" or even grasp for an evasive word. I lack this skill. To recover from a conversation with me you will need a snack and a short nap
Well, this is a bit dated and simplistic, but his delivery is, well, Pat, I suppose.
Thank you Professor Wolff for this excellent lecture. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1:00:03
I've listened to all kinds of podcasts and smaller media, and tbh, this is probably the wisest information i have come across
With D. Wolff’s splendid vocabulary, he alone turns most of his clips into works of art.
His delivery is also grand. As is his ability to take something complicated and simplify it.
Am i like Ramesh uncle?@@Amadeus8484
His delivery is annoying
@@user-df9jn1ll9k I disagree
@@user-df9jn1ll9k Not as much as yours
Powerful stuff. Prof. Wolff is usually somewhat modest in his forcefulness. You know a situation is dire when he uses such direct language to describe it.
Thank u Professor Wolf
Professor Wolf, thanks for the free university education.
Exactly, we are lucky, I do not like this technology but how on earth we would able to follow his lectures and knowledge, thankyouuuuuu
Another great lesson, thanks professor Wolff
Fascism is capitalism's emergency button. 🚨 Great lesson, Prof. Wolff. Thank you!!
Am i like Ramesh uncle?@@Denitakis
Thought after thought, so organized... Born to teach... Thanks a lot!

Of course...as he has never been capable of....DOING!!!
@@jgalt308but he wouldn't go anywhere gurudutt Anna
@@anirudhhattangadi3534 When you can't do... it's hard to go anywhere.
And his thoughts have never been organized or consistent...or factually accurate.
Looks like it's getting harder for the Ruling Class to keep the rabble subdued.

Revolution Now!
@@joeldwest Right!
I do not agree on many things, but listen. Richard Wolff is one of the first people I would invite to the table to talk about how to make a better world..
I won't miss one of these as long as they are made. Thank you so much. You are one of the greatest minds and most well-spoken on the topics you choose to speak about. All of this is sadly more and more important all the time.
Prof, Dr Wolff, you are the best, and shed so much light on what people and nations should consider. Please keep it up.
The ultimate teacher!
Unbelievably valuable. Thank you, Professor Wolf!
Thank you, Mr. Wolff for your great lectures.
Incredibly insightful lecture-thank you 🙏
Agree. Good analysis, great job.
Fantastic thank you
A masterly commentary. I listened to every word and the hour I spent has engaged me with a deeper understanding of the problems facing Europe, where I live. Thank you, Professor Wolff: chapeau!
Advertising mentality! Spot on. The importantance of truth?
I'd like to be able to talk to folks outside the internet about things like this
Excellent Excellent.
Thank you Richard , i agree with your views.
Which ones specifically? Or the ones that contradict those?
@@jgalt308am I like Ramesh uncle?
@@anirudhhattangadi3534 Why! Is he lost and confused too?
@@jgalt308 a therapist would be better than the YT comment section for dealing with the feelings of being lost and confused. hope u feel better soon
@@EcoCentrist Things will get easier when you learn to read.
I really enjoy listening to the Professor, clear concise and definitely to the point, good on you and thanks a heap
However the conclusion of Pr. Richard Wolff lecture was not sufficient! He would give insight of what's should be done to solve all these problems
Excellent, Thanks Prof. Wolff
Thank You for your wise words.
You are absolutely wonderful!! Thank you thank you!!!
Thank you, Professor Richard Wolff!
I love these depressing ass weekly talks. Thank you Richard D. Wolff. The world needs more doses of reality like this.
Then you will really love Dane Wigington and the weekly geoengineering watch weekly broadcast...
it's a whole hour of doom...every week. Wolff is a rank amateur by comparison.

Amazing class MAESTRO Wolf , always I learn so much from you!
Thanks for the clarity Prof Wolff!
Thank you so much for the Great work!
These are brilliant!! Everyone needs to hear this!!!
Great job!
Well said and well done, Professor.
Professor Wolff's like a David of knowledge fights against Goliath of ignorance 🥊
Thahk you.....Thank you for this much needed presentation!!!
Thank you very interesting and easy to follow
Thank you Prof. Wolff
Thank you professor Wolf for the insightful videos
Thank you for another insightful geopolitical analysis
Always love listening to your lectures Mr. Wolff, thank you for your thoroughness
Brilliant. Thank you.
Thank you very much sir, it was very interesting indeed. I have lived for the last 46 years in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and what I found most ridiculous back then, was the sickening Russophobia, now I’m really fearful about it. I suppose from years of indoctrination from the US via Hollywood, for example, at the last remembering of the liberation of Auschwitz, the tv forgot to mention it was the Red Army from the Soviets who liberated it and other concentration camps as well. European leaders just parrot everything the US and specially Israel says, ….. “
We have to help Ukraine to defend democracy “ (not seeing there is no democracy at all) or “Israel has the right to defend itself” when it is the oppressed the ones who have that right, not the oppressor. I have remind these people about their own “resistance” during the Nazi occupation, many of which went around killing not only high German officers but also citizens they suspected of collaboration, some times proved false afterwards. These fighters are considered heroes, even after they went in hiding when the Germans carried on represalies on innocent citizens.
Mijn oma zei altijd: de Russen hebben ons gered. Die Russophobia is duidelijk uit de VS komen overwaaien na WW2, en was bji de oudere generaties (met uitsluiting van de bovenklasse) niet aanwezig.
@@advandepol7537 ik weet alleen dat toen ik hier kwam wonen hoorde niets anders dan “the R …. are coming”. Dat vond ik echt belachelijk, ik lachte hen uit. Maar nu is dat fobia angstaanjagend, de Europese leiders gaan gewoon door als kippen zonder kop.

Brilliant very informative podcast by Professor Wolff !
Thanks for your work 💜🙏🏼
One of your best Richard
Great and terrifying in equal measure.
I think Richard should finish with a song to lighten the mood.
There’s only a few songs that come to mind when I think of this world anymore…”War Pigs” by Black Sabbath, “Money” by Pink Floyd, and “Zombie” by the Cranberries
Anything lighter than those just seems kinda quaint now 😅✌🏻
@@veronikalynn5084 There's a song on Dylan's latest (Pirate Philosopher or something) starts about a gang of thieves coming down the mountain.
@@veronikalynn5084🎯💯
Thanks you professor Wolf! for give us a chance to get the knowledge of where we are going!
Thank you Prof! ✊✊
Thank you always, Professor Richard Wolff.
Fantastic comments, Thank you, Sir.
Brilliant information thank you very much professor
This is just monumental. The best geopolitical and historical analysis I've heard in decades. Kudos.
Go go go. You should do full breakdown of EU economy and future pretty please professor
There's definitely a growing disillusionment. In Ireland we're just fed up with the contempt, neglect and vandalism justified by Ireland's politicians and neoliberal economy, leaving the social contract and civil society is succoured. Buzzare realisations and contradictions from NATO flirting to green lighting Israel's genocidal aims of Palestinians. the hypocrisy of the EU and our FineGael (EPP) and FiannaFáil (ALDE) 100 Year old duopoly that nepotistically compete through the Revolving door for pushy private sector corporate jobs and EU commission roles.
Crazy days indeed, when to be informed is seen as a crime.
Thanks Richard Wolff, for your always illuminating talks. I hope that was the correct way to support Democracy at Work.
Wow. Thank you so much for your superlative explanation of what's going on AND what is to be done!
I always appreciate your in-depth analysis from which I've been learning - PRW.
Good insights as usual prof.
Excellent Work.
That's how i felt about the Putin interview, wanting to hear what he has to say doesn't mean i'll agree with him, and there are two sides to every story. Journalism has become propaganda in the west, even the BBC has fallen victim, so in my view Tucker did a service in bringing an alternate voice to a landscape where we basically only hear the narrative of western establishments
Well said on the propaganda aspect of the media, especially in the UK. It is difficult to get people to discuss videos like this, as the treat the facts as inconvenient truths.
Agree. Thought the history intro was interesting too. Even want to listen again. Hope I can find it!
@@jillfryer6699 There are BOOKS...there are even "audio books"...and videos.
In fact, there is more information available to you than at any time in history.
Richard Wolff the Real Philosopher by all its meanings...Philo=Love and Sophia=Wisdom...all the best...
Brilliant and very informative podcast by Proffesr Wolff !
That is right Professor
Thanks Prof.for in
Well done explaining so much in a very easy and comprehensive way in just 1 hour. Applaus!
They thought they would bring Russia down to it's knees but they only brought themselves down on their knees!
Ukraine has twice the money that Russia does. What on earth are you talking about?
Russia took two streets in Adivka, Ukraine took out the entire Russian navy.
Europe has always been a puppet of the US following WW2. The difference being that with the US you get a benevolent leader. If you were under some oteher kind of illusion, that just proves the benevolence.
Who are they ?
That’s because Russia has a judo master for a president. What does America has for a president?……
@@dsamuel4686 he plays chess too, I heard.
You want a fat, orange golfer, it appears. Lol@dsamuel4686
I'm from Europe everything Prof Wolff has said is true!! Immigration is up but our countries infrastructures can't support the numbers. Ageing populations so our productivity is low. Reliance on foreign energy has sent prices up and the lack of industry has seen unemployment skyrocket.....😐😐😐
know what can help with a loss of productivity? immigration.
Don’t forget the European electorate elected the politicians who foisted the subordinate status on them
Thank you Prof Wolff. You are one of the few people with insight to analyse this chaotic world in simple terms and with the guts to speak up against a whole lot of hippocrypts.
Thanks
Absolutely brilliant commentary!
THANK-YOU PROFESSOR WOLF FOR BEING AWESOME.
ITS ALWAYS ENLIGHTENING 2
LISTEN.
EUROPE IS TAKING THE LEAD IN ITS OWN SELF HARM.
I WILL BE WAITING FOR REASON n COMENT SENSE TO
RETURN 2 EUROPIUM HOPEFULLY BEFORE 2 LATE.
👍AGAIN PROFESSOR WOLF.
Keep that hopium, and remind yourself every day of the value of reason and common sense, which is sorely lacking on both sides of the Atlantic.
Every time I watch Professor Wolf, I fill as such as I am in my first grade classes. Thank you for the free lessons. I try and soak up as much information from your videos. It also makes me wonder what kind of education does US politicians have.
Nice summary of the topic. I really appreciate!
Thanks again Prof for another insightful presentation of events and occurrences around the world.
Thank you for this information.
WHAT A SMART MAN!
Thank you, Prof. Wolff for being the people's witness.
The problem is, the people who experienced the horrors of ww2 are gone and no longer in power to give their insight and books do not convey how horrible the events of ww2 were. People have to experience trauma in order to not repeat it, we're incapable of learning from previous generations. If we could, there wouldn't be war, but thousands of years of war have proven otherwise.
there's more coming out about intergenerational trauma. Gabor Mate et al. Not sure what to think. Could be something in that but wouldn't want to see it getting 'signalled' as an excuse for everything!
As a person from the north of Ireland, I realised, about 15 years ago, Europe has become Our Rope!
More America that controls it
🇫🇮❤Thanks prof. Wolff for this lesson, especially emphasizing the importance of knowing all sides of any argument/situation, just like one must be able to see both sides of a coin to know if it's a fake or not.
Thank you Professor Wolff. Your intelligence and wisdom of the economic world stage and your deep understanding that it all starts with sound economic policy. Love your sense of humor too. Keep teaching us. We need it. The lucky few of us that are natural born skeptics and know bold face lies when we see and hear us has saved me most of my life but it is refreshing to have intellects like yourself make me feel better about insisting on the world truths. My best to you and your family. Stay well.
Clarissimo ! Obrigada.
From Brasil.
Thanks 👍, mr wolf 🐺 f not only Europe is declining but a whole of western world including US and Canada
D Wolff we thank you for taking your time and vocabulary in explaining to us what is happening in our World.❤
I wish everyone would tune in to Prof Wolf. Maybe, we could change this world.
Thanks Professor Wolff. Great analysis as always. These sociopaths can't do what we need done because they are wholly owned subsidiaries of the people who own this place. "It's a big club, and we ain't in it"
How come the Europeans were so 🥴🤯to take such measures against
Them?
Bravo Super Vladi❣️
Howdy boss!
First time viewer and I'm highly impressed. This lecture is in a class of its own all by itself.
Truly spoken, Professor Wolff. I have been a follower of yours since RT America and free speech TV. That's also where I first saw Chris Hedges and Lee Camp. Even when it's bad news you have to hear it. But it matters who you hear it from, and Wolff is one of my favorites.
Excellent analysis, very disturbing. I am happy to live in your time.
