"Richard Wolff: Capitalism Was Already a Pandemic Before COVID-19"

Economist Richard Wolff speaks with Status Coup's Jordan Chariton on the growing Coronavirus pandemic and its economic ravage.

"What struck me about it was not the idea of reopening the economy, which I understand, we need an economy to produce goods and services to live, but what blew me away was that the same president who orders the workers into the workplace, did not order the employer to make the workplace safe. It blew my mind. Corporations have a long history, capitalism has a long history, of making workplaces unhealthy and unsafe."
