How Capitalism Becomes Fascism - Economic Update with Richard Wolff

Prof Wolff explains how fascism emerges in the face of anti-capitalist movements using the examples of Italy, Germany and Spain. "It's capitalism enforced. You still have employers and employees like capitalism before... Don't be fooled. Underneath the veneer of the government coming in is the ultimate purpose: protect capitalism. That's why it's there." - Richard Wolff This is a clip from S12 E06 of Economic Update: "Fascism" Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel at    • Economic Update: Fascism   You can also listen to this show on our website or as a podcast on your favorite podcast player. ______________________________________________________________________________________ We make it a point to provide the show free of ads.
