Richard Wolff on Coronavirus, Capitalism and Stupid Billionaires

This is an excellent AcTVism Munich interview.


At 28 minutes 10 seconds Wolff points out that the financial crises are always named after the events that triggered them, as if the idea of capitalism was intrinsically sound, but that these unforseen problems were to blame for the occasional collapses that happen. If that is so, then why was Bill Gates running around for several years talking an impending pandemic? This was foreseen, by someone well connected with Wall St. (Gates was on the board of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway). So why wasn't the financial system able to take the hit, Bill? Because the US Government didn't spend enough? You know what I think, Bill? I think you're a fucking little crook and that you're on your way to prison!
