On this week's episode of The Socialist Program's regular segment "Capitalism in Crisis" with Prof. Richard Wolff, we discuss the system of capitalist banks, their stranglehold on society,  and why unemployment and poverty are skyrocketing.

Richard Wolff is the co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work and the author of many books, the latest being "The System is the Sickness: When  Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself." You can check out  his work at rdwolff.com.
