Economist Richard Wolff on Roots of Greek Crisis, Debt Relief & Rise of Anti-Capitalism in Europe







http://democracynow.org - As Greek voters reject further budget cuts and tax hikes in exchange for a rescue package from European creditors, who is to blame for the debt crisis embroiling Greece? Is Germany trying to crush Greece to set an example? Will Greece leave the eurozone? What does this mean for the global economy? We speak to Richard Wolff, emeritus professor of economics at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and visiting professor at New School University. He’s the author of several books, including, most recently, "Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism." Still with us in Athens, Greece, is Paul Mason, economics editor at Channel 4 News.

Detroit Built by Capitalism & Destroyed by Marxism ~ Richard Wolff




Here's what's in your Prime Interest today:
It's official! Bitcoins under intense scrutiny in Thailand. The central bank of the former Kingdom of Siam said Bitcoins are not a currency -- and the nation's legal infrastructure, which includes capital controls, simply does *not* have a place for Bitcoins. So, it's illegal for Thai residents to buy, sell or trade the crypto *non*-currency. In addition, Thai authorities said Bitcoins cannot be moved into or out of the country -- quote "rendering any current stockpiles worthless." Just contemplate that for a moment. Apparently, Alaskan Senator Ted Steven's internet *tubes* simply don't exist in Thailand -- which you would think renders the entire argument moot. Of course it doesn't. Up next, the Senate outlaws gravity.

But here in the US, the Bitcoin community is getting proactive about getting ahead of such legal threats. There's now a Committee for the Establishment of the Digital Asset Transfer Authority -- or DATA -- that is working with regulators and authorities. In fact, there's another Bitcoin conference going on today, and we'll be covering the issues in depth later this week. In the meantime, Perianne breaks down another legal issue -- the Volcker Rule.

And Bob talks to Richard Wolff about dysfunctional Detroit. Speaking of dysfunction, our capital markets might have a shining knight. We'll have to see, but there's a new exchange in town: the IEX. And, it's expressly designed for large investors who don't want to be gamed by high frequency trading. Instead of allowing client computers to sit right next to the exchange's own servers, they'll be in a separate building. So, instead of a delay of ten millionths of a second -- the current industry standard -- the delay will be 350 millionths of a second. Seriously, folks. This is what trading has come to.

Richard Wolff : This Is an Abomination How U.S. Bailed Out Car Makers, But Abandoned Detroit

"This Is an Abomination": Richard Wolff on How U.S. Bailed Out Car Makers, But Abandoned Detroit


At the height of the financial crisis, the U.S. government bailed out two major Detroit auto makers, General Motors and Chrysler. But it never bailed out Detroit, economist Richard Wolff notes. In fact, since part of the deal for the bailout involved gutting the wages of new workers, the bailout ensured that "if the car companies could come back, Detroit couldn't, because the return of workers to the automobile industries would be workers paid $14 or $15 an hour, and that puts you below the poverty wage in the United States," Wolff says. "This is an abomination in which the top, the industry, the big corporations are bailed out, and the very cities that depend on them are told to fend for themselves."

Capitalism Hits the Fan Film Screening and Q&A with Professor Richard Wolff | The New School




Join Economics Professor Richard Wolff, University of Massachusetts, for a screening of his film, Capitalism Hits the Fan, and a Q&A. Professor Wolff breaks down the root causes of today's economic crisis and traces its source to the 1970s, when wages began to stagnate and American workers were forced into a spiral of borrowing and debt. By placing the crisis in this framework, Wolff argues that proposals for government "bailouts," offers of stimulus packages, and calls for increased market regulation will not address the real causes of the crisis. He suggests that far more fundamental change is necessary to avoid future catastrophes. Richly illustrated with motion graphics, Capitalism Hits the Fan is a superb introduction to the unraveling economic crisis for ordinary citizens.

Capitalism Hits the Fan - Richard Wolff

Economist, author, Professor emeritus UMass, Amherst, Richard Wolff, speaks about the current economic crises, its' roots and what we can do about it.
Filmed by Paul Hubbard at Brown University, Providence RI .Capitalism is at it's core a fundamentally selfish system that encourages the exploitation of people and resources for profits. The globalization of the economy and capitalism has spread the disease throughout the world and outsourced our jobs to countries with cheap labor so that profits can raise even higher for the capitalists.

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.” Major L L B Angus

The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.
The Rothschild Bros

"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.

This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.

By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
