Three things the economic crisis is not -- How we got here : American exceptionalism -- History interrupted : the trauma of flat wages -- Coping with trauma : the people's response -- The meaning of the "trauma" for business -- Bust and no boom in sight -- What won't work : re-regulation -- So what might work? -- Beyond free markets and regulation.
Lecturer, Richard Wolff.
"Richard Wolff breaks down the root causes of today's economic crisis, showing how it was decades in the making and in fact reflects seismic failures within the structures of American-style capitalism itself. Wolff traces the sources of the economic crisis to the 1970's, when wages began to stagnate and American workers were forced into a dysfunctional spiral of borrowing and debt that ultimately exploded in the mortgage meltdown"--Container.
