Episode description

Most people spend most of their waking hours at work, being told what to do, as well as how and when to do it without any opportunity to help make those decisions for themselves. We think this is wrong, and so does Professor Richard D. Wolff, who joins us to answer the question– why workplace democracy?

— Richard D. Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University, NYC. He is the founder of Democracy at Work and host of their nationally syndicated show Economic Update. His latest book is The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself, which can be found along with his other books Understanding Socialism and Understanding Marxism at www.democracyatwork.info
