Time to Abolish the Supreme Court? Why “Private Property” Should Not Be Supreme

<p>Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the Supreme &nbsp;Court ruling overturning the federal eviction moratorium and putting 11 &nbsp;million people at risk of being thrown onto the streets in the middle &nbsp;of a pandemic. The rationale used by the court to issue this cruel edict &nbsp;is the essence of capitalism -- protect property owners’ “right to &nbsp;exclude” at all costs.</p> <p>Richard Wolff is the co-founder of the &nbsp;organization Democracy at Work and the author of many books, the latest &nbsp;being “The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from &nbsp;Pandemics or Itself”.
