Description: In this Wolff Responds, Prof. Wolff examines Biden's Infrastructure Repair Plan. He argues that the US has always incentivized the neglect of our infrastructure. Biden's plan will throw large sums of money to private companies to repair or rebuild. But much of that money, Wolff cautions, will be given to shareholders and as bonuses to top executives. Will any of it change the basic injustice and unfairness of our infrastructure maintenance program, or change the system that produces these crazy results? Biden is not prepared to do that.
