Richard D. Wolff Lecture on Worker Coops: Theory and Practice of 21st Century Socialism




First rate, it is a pleasure and a privilege to be able hear to this guy,
his educational background is amazing. Can breath life into
material that can other wise be so boring that it gets tedious.

How Capitalism is Killing Itself with Dr. Richard Wolff



I wonder if as many people that get sucked into jimmy dore videos or other random youtube personality videos linked on this site, watch your Richard D. Wolff posts or other valuable posted content.

It's a shame what doesn't get discussed in these threads.

His show is no longer on Pacifica.
Was left wondering how expensive it would have been, and to whom.
Pretty sure we would all like to hear the backstory.
What would your thoughts on the subject be ?

I'd like to hear the backstory as well.

I really don't know it.

He was just on KPFA in November.

Maybe it has to do with his non-profit work, Democracy at Work? Purely a guess.

Pacifica has its problems as well, it seems. Hopefully, they can pay their loan which is coming due, and don't lose their buildings used as collateral.

The show was originated with KPFK, and it was pulled from the line up over a month ago.
His final show was considerably different in nature and content than his previous material.
That is using polite understatement, it came across to like a bitter parting of ways.

Interesting.

I'm going to have to find that and listen. I was unaware

Currently listening to Economic Update w/Richard Wolff from KPFK audio archives from Nov. 28, 2021

What humanity should eat to stay healthy and save the planet


What we eat needs to be nutritious and sustainable. Researchers are trying to figure out what that looks like around the world.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-03565-5?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Japanese villagers in Ogimi on Okinawa have longest lives on average on the planet. clean air & water (fairly isolated) and a diet consisting of seafood, seaweed, mostly raw vegetables, and unfortunately for me, lots of tofu. they are 80% less likely to have coronary heart disease, breast & prostate cancer, & the lowest rate in the world for the 3 most common causes of death. accordingly, they have 4 times the centenarians of any other population in the world. does not hurt to have a warm climate allowing outdoor recreation & activities pretty much year round either.

Stays in the front of my cabinet, neat stuff to work with.
When it comes to food, we have never had it so good.
Have seen it pointed out that the average person today,
gets to eat better than most kings have been able to eat
through out history.
The statement is true, and I do find it amazing.
We eat better than most kings have though out history.

A little chia in the yogurt to make it cheesy. Great for the digestion.

Shortages and all. I have everything I need and a lot of stuff I don’t.
Im in Southern California right now, with a grocery store on almost every block.
