Socialism or Capitalism: Millions of Unemployed Workers Lose their Benefits

<p>Brian and Prof. Wolff discuss the state of unemployment &nbsp;in America. Politicians and the media talk constantly about the &nbsp;post-COVID economic recovery, but last month’s weak jobs report suggests &nbsp;that workers are still in the midst of crisis. And despite this dire &nbsp;situation, the unemployment relief programs passed at the onset of the &nbsp;pandemic have now expired.</p> <p>Professor Richard Wolff is an author &nbsp;&amp; co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
