At the Brink: Global Food Crisis

<p>On today's episode Brian Becker and Prof. Richard &nbsp;Wolff discuss the&nbsp;global food crisis that is taking shape with major &nbsp;price rises already being felt around the world – a grave situation that &nbsp;is expected to deepen. &nbsp;As the war in Ukraine drags on and as the western countries attempt to &nbsp;cut Russia off from the global economy, disruptions to supply chains and &nbsp;shortages are becoming even more severe. The global capitalist market &nbsp;is yet again proving to be incapable of ensuring &nbsp;something as basic as food to the world’s population.</p> <p>Professor Richard Wolff is an author &amp; co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
