Queens, Kings and Capitalism

<p>On today's episode Walter Smolarek &nbsp;and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how the corporate-owned media has been &nbsp;consumed with wall-to-wall coverage of the death of the Queen, fawning &nbsp;over the British monarchy. But the lifestyle that’s being celebrated is one based on plunder and empire. While their “subjects” live in &nbsp;poverty, the royals live a life of total luxury – all because they were &nbsp;lucky enough to be born into the right family.</p> <p>Professor Richard Wolff is an author &amp; co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
