Understanding Marxism
_on ECONOMIC UPDATE with Richard D. Wolff
This special edition of “Economic Update” is devoted to Understanding Marxism, the title of a short new book just published by Democracyatwork. Today’s program, like the book, explains Marxism’s systemic insights into capitalism now. We discuss Marxism’s basic criticisms of capitalism and also its complex relationship to socialism. Finally, we offer a survey of the last century of Marxism’s huge, diverse influences on modern economics, politics and culture around the world.
Each show wraps up with Professor Wolff answering some questions that he receives through his website or on Facebook. Economic Update is in partnership with Truthout.org.
This show was broadcast on June 5, 2019.
