Empires are the most dangerous not when they are the strongest but when they are collapsing.

What a way to start my morning: coffee, Lawrence Wilkerson and now, Richard Wolff. Great work, Nima!
1:02:32
Yes, absolutely! Same here. Bravo Nima!
Morning? It's nine in the god damn evening!!!!!!
Prof Wolff is a treasure for sure and Nima is great at picking quality guests
Proff Wolff excellent and concise as ever. Great guest Nima.
Prof Wolff is brilliant. Thank you for hosting him. We need more to hear his important messages.
His analysis of the French politics is really on point. A part from Arnaud Bertrand on X & Prof Wulff, is one of the best analyst on French politics for me ( as someone who grew up in France & has been living outside of France for decades now but will vote for the 2nd round this Sunday).
Prof. Wolff is simply the best at what he does. Teaching economics. And Nima is simply the best at what he does. Interviewing top tier guests with no interruptions. TY gentkemen!
INDEED
Lmao Richard Wolff is terrible at economics and almost everything he says about economics is incorrect and misleading. All he knows is humanities / social studies, which suggests that his deficiency is in mathematical ability
Wolff compares a job to slavery. Corporations do not have a right to treat employees any way they want and never have. Autocracy has nothing to do corporations. Employers have no control over your life off the clock. Wolff doesn’t understand anything, he just manipulates the narrative because hes an underachiever
Could you give an example of where he is wrong on economics? @@USFISTER
@@lachlanmorgan-fraser2552 I just told you, literally everything he says is backwards starting with the very basics. Conservatism means to prevent change. Economic conservatism is the same thing as fiscal liberalism. How can you change wealth distribution through conservative (fiscally liberal) policies when conservatism preserves power for those who already have it?
I love listening to this man. I never had much interest in economics, but if this guy is the lecturer, I'm attending.
Richard Wolff is a gifted communicator. He makes "the dreary science" fascinating.

"The ability to forget when it's convenient is not an admirable quality." Bravo Professor.
Thank you, Nima Alkhorshid, for having Professor Richard Wolff on with his expertise.
Another great lecture from Professor Richard Wolff,
I think the apocryphal quote attributed to Churchill applies generally here "Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing... after they've exhausted all other options."
This is happening all throughout the west. We're trying all the wrong 'solutions' first because we're afraid of the true solution: set capitalism aside.
Prof.Wolff is always clear and consise. Thank you.

We are lucky to hear Prof. Wolf ❤❤
The Party system has allowed private money to buy the entire political class in the west. There is no opposition just silence and the parliamentary privilege MPs are vested with to question government actions goes unused. That tells you everything. Our individual votes have been devalued worse than our currency. Abolish the party whip et all. All MPs independent all votes in parliament by conscience and the interest of the electorate. We need two election cycles where the only people who meet to vote are those who have paid income tax minimum of three years previous to election end of story. No beneficiaries no students no civil servants either no state employees at all. NO PRIVATE FUNDING OF POLITICIANS. We have private interests paying to have their agendas inflicted on us as public Policy. Private money has also bought and destroyed the Independance of the fifth estate. the CLIMATE SCAM IS the overarching covert huge resource grab by private capitol. Governments allowed individuals and corporations to amass such wealth that the political class the media local government and the state sector have all been bought off that it was inevitable that national sovereignty itself would be next.
Agree with you
And Trump won't solve nothing he is part of this system lol
Agreed. Except the Earth is significantly hotter now. Just because some parasites expect to make money off it, doesn't make it a lie.
No better said but if you want more people reading it try to condense all that into a shorter . I totally agree with everything you said❤
Well put.New Zealander here
It is such a pleasure to listen and more especially to learn with Richard D. Wolff.
US wanted to make a fool out of Russia and China. But instead, the US made a fool of itself. Let that be a lesson.
An agent of chaos with no plan but self service
🤣
Neo-cons are hard learners, they never learn
And the pulled the collective West in as absolutely foolish...the leaderships out of touch with the people
@@PNNYRFACEit doesn't even know how to look after itself!!!!
Excellent interview and can listen to Mr. Wolff over again and again! H has the talent of explaining any subject with examples and clarity💙 Thank you to both from NY ✔️
We were at a popular beach in my generally upscale neighborhood on a restaurant terrace viewing the frivolities and were shocked by the generally frumpy appearance and bad behavior of the young 20 something beach patrons before us, and the fact that this normally once packed patio terrace was deserted bar a couple tourists, when we commented to the lovely waitress about our observations she said very matter of fact with a shrug, "as you see folks poverty is rising."
We all see what we see from where we are perched.
Nobody explains things they way prof Willf does!!
Thank you Professor Wolff for the truth!
The supreme court’s latest decisions are the final nail in this coffin. It won’t be long now.
Prof Wolff is fantastic
RW is a living legend. He is BY FAR, my favourite personality to listen too on the Internet. I learn something new, every time he opens his mouth. If I had of encountered a personality like his at University in 1987, I would have become an Economist, not a Research Engineer. RW has the 'X-Factor' ! .... Biden, Trump & everyone else, would LOVE to have RW's X-Factor !

Boeing CEO got a $45M raise over the last couple years
Union employees for like a 2% raise over 10 years
Mr Wolff hits the bail on the head.
No wonder Boeing doors are falling out of the sky...
Yes, exactly described the problem of capitalism.
The U.S.A. is collapsing like U.S.S.R. was doing the same!
>>> possibly !
Yes, but due to Gorbachev and his gov, USSR went down quite bloodless. I believe the case of US will be different . Be ready for the Apocalypse because it is coming.
Cheers from Australia
@@grandcrowdadforde6127what's gonna save it ???
@@cavebabybezerkers hopefully nothing.
For 44 years USA spent all its energies trying to bring the Soviet Union down. USA brought itself down in the process.
One of the best from Richard Wolf. He is a gem.
Thank You Richard Wolff for Your statement regarding the immigrants. Finally am I not alone! All the best!
That's a awesome speech mr. Wolf.
I love the way Dr. Wolff .akes these complex ideas understandable. Even for someone who has no background in any of this❤❤❤
Thank you for this session. I always look forward to listen to Prof. Wolff
You cannot teach philosophy -- or "values" -- to someone with an empty belly. I thought this would be common knowledge.
Wait til yall dind out who these people really are
Ancore,this man give so much beneficial advice I could listen to him all day. Thank you for all the brilliant guest you have on here.
I agree.
Fareed lives in an ivory tower, completely detached from reality.
Thank you, great interview. Richard is an amazing chap that the world really can learn from.
Thank you Nima and to your guest Richard
Love listening to this brilliant eloquent man.
Thank you professor. Once again
Great analysis about autocracy and democracy. Great overall analysis.
Excellent interview and great information from professor Wolff thank you
Mr. Wolff you present information very clearly so that we can understand what is actuall happening in this capitalistic system and how we got to this point. I just want to let you know I really really appreciate what you're doing and hope you will continue teaching us. N.C. here💫
All the signs point to a major course correction, particularly in how the US imposes itself on the global financial system. This overdue change must make the US's global financial policies and its dollar far less onerous to do business with. But leadership in the West appears incapable of making it. Thar be dragons.
If the US/West can't remake itself into an acceptable alternative to the coming BRICS behemoth, there will be deeply troubled times ahead. The US/West either turns direction now to become a less self-serving global economic participant somewhat akin to the BRICS initiative, or de-dollarization will increase until Western isolation becomes unsustainable. It is as Professor Wolff says, "This is a dead old [system] and we're watching it painfully disintegrate."
Don't be naive, they will never change their imperialist mindset and will use war to defend to defend their exorbitant privilege n exceptionism.
Indeed war has already started in Ukraine n the middle east n will soon escalate into a much broader conflict which is what the US intended.
The leadership in the West benefits from the global financial policies.
Why should they want to change it?
Throughout history, positive changes have come from the people at the bottom of the social structure. When the people stand up and demand changes, that's when they occur.
The capitalist West created BRICS. It was inevitable that the countries being ruined by the international oligarchy would eventually organize themselves into another system.
Too little too late.
@@yaoliang1580 Naive is not a word that's often applied to me. But that said, and yesterday's SCOTUS decision may have something to do with what you suggest, the public's patience isn't unlimited. They sense what's happening to them, as Wolff mentions. But as US financial interests turn ever more inward to sustain expected quarterly dividends, public acquiescence to parasitization will come to an end. When that day happens, it won't be pleasant. Enter the SCOTUS decision, depending. Regardless, this is often how empires end.
PLEASE HAVE JILL STEIN ON TALKING ABOUT "LATE-STAGE CAPITALISM!!!!!"
SHE UNDERSTANDS IT-- AND ISN'T OWNED BY THE OLIGHARCHS!!!!!!!
Yes, let's hear a conversation with Jill Stein.
You view capitalism as a cancer,yet Marx has killed more than actual cancer with the different derivatives of his religion
I love the way you handle an interview as well. :)
So we have privatized companies and subsidized privatized companies. I guess that explains the success of the subsidized companies on wall street.
Another Wow! analysis from Prof. Wolff. No wonder the Bad Guys and Gals who run the US/collective west do not want The People to access rational, practical voices like his.
Thank you, Nima, you do a great service in providing such an excellent platform for informed, articulate individuals.
I love Prof. Wolff
Brilliant. Thank you both
Great interview 👍.
Excellent discussion
Professor Wolff talks to people like they are children, and yet he is supremely inarticulate
Thank you so much Nima, for being a profesional host!!!!
Its not necessary to constantly interrupt the professor with vanal commentaries.!!!!
Nima, your show is like an opiate I’m addicted to it thank you for the fantastic show and guest and for not interrupting him like other hosts often do😊
Few are calling it as it is. It's poor vs rich. Wolff is fantastic.
You've explained the French voting system brilliantly Prof Wolff, unfortunately you seemed to have missed the point of WHY the French, Brits or Americans vote for "far Right' candidates. You assume nothing will change for ordinary taxpayers, but what we're fed up are the REASONS we're becoming poorer which is that the current leaders don't CARE about us, or our history and society or our replacement by immigrants and a different religion and culture.
So it isn't that we're anti-immigrant, but anti our Leaders who despise us and everything about our countries
Great video. Thanks
very ! perceptive && wise man ! More, Nima !!
Thanks for all you do.
Muchas gracias por compartir estas reflexiones!!
I am also a long-time fan of the incomparable Richard D. Wolff!
Very, very Good. Thanks. :)
As always, brilliant interview
What’s depressing is everyone just now finding out. He was that way in the primaries for 2020. There is no way Biden got 81million votes. He was senile then. But my dumb countrymen are just now noticing???? I need a new country 😏
In my next life I’ll do something without idiots 😝
I love Wolfie. He's my favorite economist.
Every president should have advisors like Professor Wolff.
Thank you for the enlightening .
Amazing analysis. What a sharp mind. Compliments!!
I absolutely love this guy.
One interesting phenomenon of renewable energy is in Gaza, where you can see a little girl move with her family flee here and there, grasping a solar panel with her on the road, that is the source of electricity for the poor and people in trouble.
Loved this! So informative! You chrystalise my uninformed ideas......thank you
Good interview
Great analysis, worthy of downloading and saving. Criticism is that the issue of immigration is not immigrants, but too many to assimilate-catastrophically many, encouraged to endure horrific treks, and most are not vetted-to protect citizens.

Fareed Zakaria's world view is centred on personal a want and sense of "Gees Mom look at me" "I'm on CNN", and he loves being part of Main-stream American media. He feels that defines him. To him that is all he and his family want. I am "one of them" and they like me. He will never-ever criticise America.
Excellent questions Nima. 👍😉
Very profound!!!
Professor Wolff always a compelling podcast..
I came to the Lord asking for his blessingsas a single mom because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting income of $31,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.
But how do you make so much in a month?mind sharing?
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place
Mrs Mary Margaret Schimweg is lord sent!!!
Thank God for Bringing Mrs Mary Margaret Schimweg, I'm happy for God's grace have found me, Mrs Mary Margaret Schimweg is lord sent!!!
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Mary Margaret Schimweg) so many people have recommended highly about her😊 and am just starting with her Brisbane Australia🇭🇲
Thank you gentlemen.I only hope more people wake up to what's going on .
Solar panels is not the answer to heating and cooling your house! Neither for business! You can’t run a steel mill on solar or wind!Most of of Our Power Grid is failing and we have 97 Dams through out our are in Danger! This will cause major flooding unless fit! Hoover Dam is very Horrible Shape!
We have to have a hybrid system.
Amazing!!!!!!
Nima, you remind me of Lex Fridman, a favorite podcaster of mine, different but equally pertinent. tnx for your good work.
Great analysis from Richard Wolff, as always so well explained and pertinent...
he don’t miss
The United States will highly end up to be a third world country at the end of this turmoil they started unless they do a 180 degree change even at this it may take decades this country is like in the hospital with your dying parents Dr Wolff is the student who surpassed his teachers today 😢😢😢
Great ❤❤❤
Great work, the professor Wolf is the best! thank you for such a great work!
Thanks Nima, there are only TWO GREATS YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOW...1# PEPE ,2# MR.CROOKE ❤
Depends on what you're looking for. On economics Wolff is one of the greats.
There's going to have to be a complete break from capitalism to a geniune economic democracy. No more tinkering around the margins or tepid inadequate reforms.
A great difference between the West and the China coalition is how they view/treat the "90%" ie., the Global South. We have yet to throw off our imperialist past and neo-con notions and embrace cooperation, collaboration, and mutual benefit. It's the new coin of the progressive world.
That said it all. The inability to live like a real human person. Some do truly live in the jungle in their primrose garden.
Thanks for pointing out that the PRC is a socialist country, not a state capitalist. Where workers are free to live and work anywhere they are permitted. The PRC will not ever face Marx's overproduction problem as shown by the real property situation which is made to keep in balance and the main basis of personal wealth and saving. As you pointed out Russia is far freer than Ukraine. Their oligarchs are free to profit as long as long as they never criticize Putin nor his policies or they may face defenestration. A great example is a great hero of the Chechen, Crimea, Dagestan and Ukrainian wars and former Donetsk defense minister, now after a secret trial sentenced to five years in prison, probably for criticizing Putin for his treatment of veterans. But like Putin is charged with and wanted for war crimes by the ICC.
Agreed 100% . As always a best narrative and global perspective . Fareed like his NT is a descending figure who should retire now along his candidate Genocidel Biden .
The difference is between meritocracy vs democracy. The West is caught up going in the wrong direction because of its own delusion of it being “autocracy vs democracy”. China’s system is one of meritocracy, which the West can’t afford to admit.
Another difference is that China pulled itself up by its own bootstraps. Whereas the U.S. rose to be number one after WWII because the rest of the world was devastated and the U.S., so to speak, became the last man left standing.
The USA did not want Russia to be a partner with Europe. (58:47)
Giant hugs and love to you both. 💪🏽👊🏽🤞🏽👍🏽🙏🏽🇮🇳🇬🇧
Don't go war with the Poker face if you know what It is this means. 😳
In the end, I think that what your solution, which is the right one, is that the progress of a country should be the sharing of its wealth and without stealing from other countries.
