    ECON Professor Emeritus of Economics, Richard Wolff, on China, Russia, and the decline of the US empire.

    I just spent near two hours listening to this interview and I found it fascinating. Professor Wolff is very blunt and understandable while discussing how the world's economy has been changing due to the Russia/Ukrainian war. Doesn't bode well for us atm.
