Description: In this Wolff Responds, Prof. Wolff talks about the awakening of the American working class and their fight for justice. Working class conditions have gotten worse over the last few decades, with stagnant real wages, economic crashes, inflation and a crippling pandemic that has left many unprotected and feeling unsafe. As the working class works longer and harder than ever and only the rich get richer, what are our options? Prof. Wolff has some ideas. Wolff Responds is a @Democracy At Work production.
