Richard D. Wolff

Hi Dr. Wolff, are there Marxist financial advisers?

Hi Dr. Wolff, are there Marxist financial advisers? I'd like to climb out of my financial hole without being ripped off or ripping anyone else off.

Official response from submitted

Yes there are, and more than you might imagine. After World War II when the anti-Marxist campaigns of McCarthy et al got into gear, many Marxists lost their jobs and went instead into finance, often as self-employed persons, because your were safer there. That developed a tradition of left-thinking financial advisers that continues into the present. Its one of capitalism's delightful contradictions.
