Richard Wolff joins Bill to discuss the disaster left behind in capitalism’s wake, and the fight for economic justice, including a fair minimum wage.
- "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The reality is not that I lack respect for the law; it’s that I have greater respect for justice. Where there is a conflict between the law and the higher moral code that we all share, my loyalty is to that higher moral code."
Tim DeChristopher
“This is what you shall do; love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.”
Walt Whitman

“How is it that I’m a fairly right wing Republican and yet I found myself agreeing with you pretty much 100% with your assessment of what has been happening to our country over the last few years (especially the grotesque inequality that has resulted) and the awful portents that you highlighted for our country? I really love this country, and I believe that you do too. Well done!”
“…your work on Moyers was not only the most lucid and clear thinking analysis to make its way into mainstream media about the economic crisis—it is also, I think of historical significance.”
“You knocked that interview out of the park! I couldn’t have been more delighted to hear you and Mr. Moyers engage in discussion. He really is a master of the interview, and his excitement was evident throughout. What an exciting new development for Democracy at Work.”
“I have never heard such an eloquent and precise description about what is happening in the US today.”
“Yet another man that gives me hope. We need more like Richard Wolff.”
“Thank you for a very enlightening evening, looking forward to your next visit with Bill.”
