Professor RICHARD D. WOLFF -- you've seen him on that compelling two-hour KCET special. You've heard him on Pacifica radio, and seen him on Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now!" and on "Redacted Tonight VIP." The Guide has written about him before, as the economist who offers a doable plan for changing our society so that everyone who works will gain opportunity, instead of all the advantages going to the banksters and the offspring of the mega-rich.

HE IS IN L.A. FOR A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT, with a NEW PRESENTATION!

LA Progressive • Democracy@Work • Occidental College Present:

Richard D. Wolff -- He hosts the weekly hour-long radio program "Economic Update" on Pacifica Radio and writes regularly for "The Guardian," "Truthout.org," and the "MRZine."

He is the author of several important 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."

HIS NEW PRESENTATION MONDAY NIGHT IS --

"Trump, Capitalism's Crisis, and a New Way Forward."

The thought-provoking economist returns to Los Angeles to discuss the divisive crisis of capitalism under President Donald Trump and he draws upon decades of research to outline better solutions.

"US capitalism's instability and deepening inequality since the 1970s has destroyed its "middle class," overturned its old politics (Trump), and sharply divided its culture," says Prof. Wolff. "Basic social change is underway. There is a new way forward if we stop denying capitalism's decline as the problem we must solve."

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.
