Trump’s $5 Billion Grift: How Capitalism Steals From Us

About this episode

Trump’s family made $5 billion on Monday when they launched a new currency, a memecoin called $Trump. Along with propping up failing company Intel, these are recent examples of the resources the capitalists take from U.S. workers. Professor Richard Wolff & producer Nicole Roussell lay out how this corruption and grift occur. Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
