Employment’s up, wealth’s up, but the benefits of both are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few. Welcome to capitalism, says GRITtv regular, Richard Wolff. In this conversation he discusses the concentration of power in today’s economy and suggests some alternatives, including “worker self-directed enterprises” if we want to democratize the economy, and US society.
