This is Part 1 of the interview with Professor Wolff. Listen to Part 2 here.
In this episode, Lena Petrova and Professor Richard D. Wolff discuss a rapid decline in the U.S. economy and reasons for a looming banking crisis. Professor Wolff points to the Fed's plan to prepare for an economic crisis while misrepresenting the data to the public. Professor Wolff concludes that even though it is clear that the United States will face a severe banking crisis and bank consolidations, the "plan" is to let it collapse in hopes of a government bailout.
