In this week’s episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff dives deep into why socialism remains a popular and successful economic system. Professor Wolff highlights new laws passed by the government of Spain that punish airline companies who employ 'unjustified' airline passenger fees. We then debunk the unsubstantiated and nonsensical myth we hear so often that: 'Socialism has never worked,' and finally we juxtapose the history of the last capitalist collapse (1930s Great Depression) when the US working class turned left versus the current crisis of US capitalism when the initial turn of the working class is to the right.
