He spent ONLY really about 2 minutes on an alternative to capitalism, and wasted 50 minutes on beating the dead horse. I suggest Dr. Wolff to get more efficient with his lectures.

We need to move AWAY from socialism. Our businesses are all enshrined as monopolies due to the massive capital requirements, regulations, lawyers, accountants, taxes, and compliance requirements of a business of almost ANY industry anymore. There is absolutely, positively, ZERO chance of entrepreneuers and small businesses to compete against monopolies. We need to wake UP.

I live in a country where unions and left wing partys are extremely powerfull and they are as corrupts as the corporations. I believe is not a matter of a system that works or not, it's people´s minds that needs to change. Also a big problem i see is the polarization of everything, extreme capitalism is as bad as extreme socialism, we should be wise enough to pick the best of both and have a balance.

the 'expansive dynamism of capitalism' is like a the florescent chemical chain reaction on a corpse.

the problem with capitalism is that there are not enough capitalists; the few eat the many.

Depending on where on earth you measure it the range is 398 to 402.
Professor Lovelock stated emphatically in 1995 that if we breach 350ppm we are dooming ourselves to the worst possible future.
Capitalism, will be responsible for the greatest holocaust ever seen, that of our collective ecological suicide. -
If the enterprise's profits are split among the workers, how do you retire in that system after you no longer work? What would private retirement nest eggs be made of?

Yeah it's called regulations,get rid of the Republican party,and the libertarian ideology,and WE all vote(as if we're a inherent right,not to be stripped or undermined)✌

I think government doesn't have to be one or the other but a blend of both. It is most important that we preserve our democracy. Socialism or Capitalism or any combination of the two without democracy will always fail.

How ordinary citizen will be protected from the state in the socialist world?
