Description
The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself by Richard D. Wolff The coronavirus pandemic, the deepening economic crash, and the escalating social tensions have pushed the American capitalist system to the brink of collapse. In this collection of over 50 essays, Richard D. Wolff argues that the problems of US capitalism are too severe to be addressed by simply returning to normal. Instead, he proposes a transition towards a new economic system that works for all of us. Wolff clearly explains how capitalism exacerbates unemployment, inequality, racism, and patriarchy, and how it threatens the health and safety of workers and communities. He provides a wealth of insight, statistics, and analysis to support his argument, making this book a valuable resource for anyone concerned about the future of American society. This book offers a powerful and incisive critique of capitalism, and a compelling vision for a more just and equitable society.
