In Bill’s first interview with economist and professor Richard Wolff, he asked viewers to submit questions for Wolff to answer. We receivedhundreds, some of which the professor tackled on this week’s Moyers & Company.

We invited Wolff back to our studios for a live chat with viewers on Tuesday, March 26, in which he answered more of your questions. Replay the chat by pressing play in the box below.

Wolff is known for his ability to explain the complex causes of America’s current economic challenges — most notably, runaway capitalism and our growing income inequality. He’s also known for championing democratically run cooperative businesses. His recent book, Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism, is a self-described manifesto for the alternative business model.
