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.

Press freedom is under attack

As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.

Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
