How Class Works - Richard Wolff Examines Class
Loading...
Uploaded by PrentissMcCabe on Dec 8, 2011
Richard Wolff is an economist who has studied class issues for more than 40 years. In this animation and audio presentation, Wolff explains what class is all about and applies that understanding to the foreclosure crisis of 2007--2011. He argues that class concerns the "way our society splits up the output [and] leaves those who get the profits in the position of deciding and figuring out what to do with them... We all live with the results of what a really tiny minority in our society decides to do with the profits everybody produces." As you watch and listen, consider what we know from research about disease and illness patterns among groups with lower income, more stress, and less control of their lives. Consider how investment decisions in neighborhoods, over transportation, school facilities, parks, location of grocery stores, quality of affordable housing, etc. influenced by powerful interests, affect the quality of life for large segments of the population.

Medical Treatment in the lower SESby DRJULIEFAGANSTUDENTS337 views
@FleshMob First, observe at 03:55 that people work more and more and get paid less. Most people work just to compensate for the lower earnings. Sure a lot of people working half time would want to work more. But the problem is people working a lot more than full time and miss being with their families and friends because they have to work all day, all week. It's causing a lot of stress and so on and most importantly they work more and more because they must not from free will. OWS!

@FleshMob It could mean "in relation to the average in other developed economies."
