Summary

In this useful episode, we talk with Professor Richard Wolff about the economics of both imperialism and inflation - two major issues facing nearly everyone today, but that we often don't look at the economic drivers or mechanisms of.  An incredibly fun conversation with someone we've wanted to bring on the show for quite some time!

Richard Wolff is a Professor Emeritus of Economics at UMass-Amherst and a Visiting Professor at The New School.  He is also the host of Economic Update and the founder of Democracy At Work.  You can follow him on Twitter @profwolff.
