Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
In my view Professor Richard Wolff has drawn absolutely the wrong conclusion about the solution to the modern societal malaise. My preference is much more aligned with Professor Robert Reich.
Both of these professors want to see a 'better world' ... which is good, but my impression is that the Reich approach can work faster and at scale while the Wolff approach cannot.

A Patron of Economic Update asks: 'Hello Prof Wolff, is this the right way to ask a question? I watched the Netflix film 'Saving Capitalism' based on Robert Reich's book and would like to hear your opinion about his view that laissez-faire and 'crony capitalism' is the real problem, not capitalism itself.'
