Missing in Infrastructure Bill: System Change -Economic Update
Published at : October 25, 2021
Prof Wolff speaks about the recent infrastructure politics in the United States. What will neither political party address? The system that continues to neglect our essential infrastructure- leaving behind Americans and their businesses for political gain.
"Why have we been neglectful [of infrastructure]? And the answer is: it's our capitalist system...it's built into our system to neglect it, and so, here comes my sad commentary. Watching the Republicans and Democrats debate this bill is an exercise in pathetic." - Richard Wolff
