COVID, China and Supply Chains for Profit -Economic Update

Prof Wolff analyzes the recent conversations about international supply chains to China during COVID, and the ways that capital's freedom to pursue profits increases inequality and instability in the economy.

"The long supply chain conversation should acknowledge what it's really about: allowing private corporations to pursue their profits no matter what the fallout, no matter what the social costs, without them taking any responsibility for any of it." - Richard Wolff
