Economic Update (Special Edition): Exclusive interview with Dr. Cornel West
Third Party Politics and Social Change
We would like to present a special edition of Economic Update featuring an exclusive discussion between Professor Richard Wolff and Dr. Cornel West. This program was recorded in June, 2023, but unfortunately we were unable to air this important discussion at that time. You will hear Dr. West explain why he undertook the challenge and burden to run for President of the United States. Given the political reality of US politics, as exhausted by the two major parties, we thought it would be a public service to invite Dr. West to be heard in this form. No endorsement is intended.

    Anyone who *isn't* taking China seriously doesn't have an accurate view of current economic geopolitics and/or is lacking a lot of perspective on the fragile, teetering remains of our American global hegemony. Seems like unfortunately most Americans have been inside this domestic for-profit information/opinion silo so long we have become unable to conceive there could be a different way to see things.

    China didn't build 64-80M unneded family homes 'cause they're prescient civil planners; China's population is actually DECREASING as a consequence of the one-child policy (1979-2015), 30M 'extra' men vs women, plus 17-27M 'leftover' sheng-nu women 27+ with graduate degrees & notable financial success who virtually universally desire to marry 'up' or remain single. Industrial activity (e.g. building) provides jobs; THAT was the motivation.

    Those who have read Marx will understand the current road of China and the difficulties it faces. Those who have studied political economy will also understand the strategic direction of the Party. Unfortunately, whether Chinese people or foreigners understand this aspect or are superficial, yes, including the Chinese people, they are far away from politics and far away from Marx. If the people's minds are not armed, the class contradictions are still difficult to solve, and the Party has done everything well, but education needs to be reformed. Today's parents and teachers are trying to make students mercenary, let them out of their eyes "dirty" proletariat, but they do not let them realize that taking up ideological weapons to defend their own interests, only let them become exploitative machines.

    Then let all the participants in a company who want a voice in marketing, pricing, sales, locus of production, products and services to offer, where to source raw materials and components from, what type of legal entity to form, whether LIFO or FIFO is selected for inventory valuation etc. put up the same percentage of risk capital that the founders and officers did. Wolff’s solution is a joke. A company that had to involve the entire workforce in every business decision, strategy, inventions worth patenting, personnel to be hired for every position, contract negotiation, insurance coverages, equipment and facilities to buy or lease, etc. would be stalled and left to eat the dust of their more agile competitors. What credibility does this theoretical academic have? Has he ever owned and operated a manufacturing company in the manner he proposes? Show me some examples of successful companies managed in his proposed structure that have survived 20 or 30 years. Then he might be worth listening to.

    The results of union busting and anti-socialist rhetoric in the USA can be seen here: Wealth inequality: The top 10% of households by wealth had $6.7 million on average. As a group, they held 66.9% of total household wealth. The bottom 50% of households by wealth had $50,000 on average. As a group, they held only 2.5% of total household wealth. - Black families owned about 23 cents for every $1 of white family wealth, on average. - Hispanic families owned about 19 cents for every $1 of white family wealth, on average.
