  • My only "criticism" of Professor Wolff is his reverence for the economic literacy of Europeans, 5 minutes listening to the brainwashed parrots on any local talk radio station here in the UK would change his mind about that.

  • @justanotherpeasant Yes I agree, prof.Wolff thinks Europe is better than the States, and in some ways idealizes it too much. I lived in the UK 13 years so I know _exactly_ what you mean. He doesn't speak Greek, either, to change his mind on Greece! :-)

  • man, i would looove to sit down with this guy for lunch and ask him millions and billions of questions

  • @omadeon well i'll say out of my own experience that as American progressives, we tend to have much admiration for european social democracy (or what it used to be) because of our own regressive political culture that cuts away at an already miserly welfare state. in a lot of ways, europe does capitalism wayy better than amurica

  • Is that BraT Pitt?

  • @omadeon He's also stuck in some old Marxist mindsets which limit his the value of his insights. His first sentance was, "markets are human made," when what he means to say (or should be saying) is that the CAPITALIST market is human made. He's trying to point out that the "free market" is usually a smokescreen for corporate control, but the real FREE market pre-dates capitalism by thousands of years. Yeah, he's smart and well-intentioned; but I think he's largely stuck in the past.

  • This is the scariest economist I've heard. I wish I could find fault in his logic, but he makes a very compelling argument.

  • @brmillgr for real

  • @brmillgr he's a badass.

  • wolff reminds me of the Godfather
