Zero Books: Capitalism and the Pandemic, discussion of "The Sickness is the System"

The coronavirus pandemic, the deepening economic crash, dangerously divisive political responses, and exploding social tensions have thrown an already declining American capitalist system into a tailspin. In this video the economist Richard D. Wolff discusses how capitalism works and doesn't work as he describes his new book from Democracy at Work "The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself" and Douglas Lain tries to set up a conversation on State Capitalism and Workers Co-Ops for the parrot room.

    Given the complexity of the modern world, considering a proposal writing service https://www.phdresearchproposal.org/ can be the key to developing new strategies and reforms aimed at improving social welfare and stability.Professionals who provide these services have in-depth knowledge of business, finance and public policy.
