Radical economist Richard Wolff
recently exploded into the forefront of progressive thinking in the United
States with his brilliantly insightful book Capitalism Hits the Fan, which
chronicled Wolff’s growing alarm and insights as he watched the economic crisis
build, burst, and dominate world events.  His analysis differs sharply
from explanations offered by politicians, media commentators, and other
academics. While he retains many Marxist contentions, Wolff rejects the
economic determinism typical of most schools of economics. 

“Richard Wolff is the leading social economist in the country.
This book is required reading for anyone concerned about a fundamental
transformation
of the ailing capitalist economy.” – Cornel West 

Professor of Economics Emeritus from the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst, Wolff is currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in
International Affairs at the New School University in New York. In recent years
while delivering public lectures at many colleges and 
universities, as well as
to community and trade union meetings, he has built a reputation for blunt
speaking, clarity, refreshing scorn, and an enjoyable
wit. 


Wolff is the author of many books, including Democracy
at Work: A Cure for Capitalism, Occupy the Economy: Challenging
Capitalism, and Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown
and What to Do 
About It. He hosts the weekly hour-long radio program Economic
Update on WBAI (Pacifica Radio) and writes regularly for The Guardian,
Truthout.org, 


and the MRZine.

of America
