Professor Wolff's latest book, "Understanding Capitalism," is available now for purchase: https://linktr.ee/understandingcapitalism
Capitalism is not “just the way things are.”
It’s a system that has to be protected - constantly. In today's episode of Redneck Gone Green, David and Shane are in conversation with Clara Mattei, a professor of economics at The University of Tulsa and the founding president of the Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE), where she hosts the weekly FREE podcast. The conversation focuses on her recent book "Escape from Capitalism" and the organization she co-founded: The Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE). The conversation reveals that the goal is to make people aware of the idea that real freedom is collective power over the decisions shaping our lives. If you can’t choose how you work, where you live, or what you need to survive without money - that’s not freedom—that’s economic coercion. And once you see that, a lot of modern politics starts making a lot more sense. Don't miss the entirety of the conversation right here on Redneck Gone Green.
