Economist and Democracy At Work founder Richard Wolff joined Fox Business on July 31 to debate with Stuart Varney about socialism, capitalism and taxes. Capitalism is responsible for a level of inequality not seen since the time of the ancient Pharaohs, says Wolff. The return to socialism as a better alternative in current US society is not because Americans inherently favor socialism, but because capitalism has failed them.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 8 Days to raise $46,000
Truthout is one of only a few platforms for justice-oriented, grassroots journalism. Today, we face an existential threat.
Due to Google’s launch of AI search, we’ve seen a drastic plunge in our site traffic and, as a result, our revenue. We lost 15 percent of our readership overnight. This was a readership we painstakingly built over decades, and it vanished because Google chose corporate greed over a healthy democracy.
We are fundraising right now to meet our basic operating expenses. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference — we appreciate your support.
