1. While I value her contribution to the show, I also think that it should be disclosed in her introduction that she's your wife, though.
2. thanks, Harriet!
3. May I ask here, why has Richard's yt channel been banned?
4. 43:34  wow the white man literally prostitute his women- no offense
5. In July 2015, Wolff endorsed Massachusetts physician and Green Party candidate Jill Stein for President.[19]
6. Thank you Dr. Wolff. "Antisocial behavior" is an excellent term for these corporate shenanigans. These large corporations are social organizations. They shouldn't be the playgrounds of the rich officers at the top of them. Corporations have many stakeholders - the owners of course but surely the workers, the customers, the governments to whom they pay taxes: these people also have a right to know that these organizations are being run reasonably and in a way that doesn't conflict with the goals of the overall society. Sadly, though, this idea has no place in a "capitalist"-oriented economy.
7. I'm not sure I completely agree with many of her assertions about Men's needs out of relationships and society. But overall I think its fairly accurate.
   I do wonder what might have happened had the auto bail outs of 2008/2009 been transformative toward worker co-ops instead of just proping up businesses that will continue to outsource jobs.
8. capitalism being capitalism.
9. THIS ONE IS THE BEST YET
10. At least VW pays taxes.
11. Dr Harriet Fraad has opened my third eye.

14. You speak negatively about sex work and capitalism, you're the authoritarian. See how that works? Also the normalization of BDSM is another concern. Two (or three, four, etc.) consenting adults can do whatever they want in privacy. Doesn't make you an advocate though, and abuse and exploitation is not something to give a thumbs up to.
15. When professor Wolff talked about the underfunded government employee pensions, it brought to mind when, in 2006, the Republican-led Congress did just the opposite, and passed the unnecessary law requiring the United States Postal Service to prefund its pension benefits for 75 years in advance (funding future employees before they're even born!!!!!) through a $5.5 billion annual payment. That was and is a means to bankrupt the USPS, so the Retropublicans can privatize it. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (PAEA) is the only one of its kind for a government agency.
16. this information needs to go viral
17. I came back this second time to listen- and this time when I heard Dr. Harriet Fraad speak- I realized she and Prof Wolff were talking about white people-  I find this to be interesting -  thank you Prof Wolff you have my respect for your honesty I reporting
18. Interesting guest! I'd love to hear more of this topic - social implications of economic decisions.
