Professor Richard Wolff joins Darrell for a debate on capitalism vs socialism through the lens of inequality, race, wealth, and much more. Wolff explains how his background as the child of European refugees shaped his politics, why he believes capitalism concentrates power and wealth, and how the New Deal temporarily narrowed inequality before decades of rollback. Darrell challenges Wolff on the practical question of how people can improve their lives inside the system they have today.
