Capitalist inefficiency during covid-19 is deadly - Richard Wolff

This is a clip from the episode of Economic Update titled "MeToo and Corona: System is Key" which aired in March of 2020.

"What the coronavirus needed was the mobilization of all of our resources... We don't allow our government to manipulate and control private enterprise. We make-believe that's efficient. Really?... The ultimate inefficiency when a system's incapacity to prepare for and cope with a disaster like this is killing large numbers of people." - Richard Wolff

"Indeed, his book is so thorough, so comprehensive in its insightful analysis, that it is a practically a one-stop center for anyone who wants to understand why the year 2020 has been such a dumpster fire." - SALON
