Inflation is Class Warfare

<p>On today's episode Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss &nbsp;the steepest rise in prices in the last 30 years, which has set off &nbsp;alarm bells and handed politicians like Joe Manchin a convenient excuse &nbsp;to deepen their opposition to pro-worker social programs. Where does &nbsp;inflation come from in a capitalist economy? What effect does it have on &nbsp;the working class and on the capitalist class?</p> <p>Professor Richard &nbsp;Wolff is an author &amp; co-founder of the organization Democracy at &nbsp;Work.
