He has authored numerous articles and books and has given many public lectures at colleges and universities (Notre Dame, University of Missouri, Washington College, Franklin and Marshall College, New York University, etc.) to community and trade union meetings, in high schools, etc. He also maintains an extensive schedule of media interviews (on many independent radio stations such as KPFA in Berkeley, KPFK in Los Angeles, WBAI in New York, National Public Radio stations, the Real News Network, the Glenn Beck Show, and so on).
"Probably America's most prominent Marxist economist." -New York
Times Magazine "Imagine a country where the majority of the
population reaps the majority of the benefits for their hard work,
creative ingenuity, and collaborative efforts. Imagine a country
where corporate losses aren't socialized, while gains are captured
by an exclusive minority. Imagine a country run as a democracy,
from the bottom up, not a plutocracy from the top down. Richard
Wolff not only imagines it, but in his compelling, captivating and
stunningly reasoned new book, Democracy at Work, he details how we
get there from here - and why we absolutely must." -Nomi Prins,
Author of It Takes a Pillage and Black Tuesday "Richard Wolff is
the leading socialist economist in the country. This book is
required reading for anyone concerned about a fundamental
transformation of the ailing capitalist economy!" - Cornel West
"Ideas of economic democracy are very much in the air, as they
should be, with increasing urgency in the midst of today's serious
crises. Richard Wolff's constructive and innovative ideas suggest
new and promising foundations for much more authentic democracy and
sustainable and equitable development, ideas that can be
implemented directly and carried forward. A very valuable
contribution in troubled times." -Noam Chomsky "Bold, thoughtful,
transformative-a powerful and challenging vision of that takes us
beyond both corporate capitalism and state socialism. Richard Wolff
at his best!" -Gar Alperovitz, author of America Beyond Capitalism;
Lionel R. Bauman Professor of Political Economy, University of
Maryland Praise for Capitalism Hits the Fan (book and DVD) "With
unerring coherence and unequaled breadth of knowledge, Rick Wolff
offers a rich and much needed corrective to the views of mainstream
economists and pundits. It would be difficult to come away from
this... with anything but an acute appreciation of what is needed
to get us out of this mess." -Stanley Aronowitz, Distinguished
Professor of Sociology and Urban Education, City University of New
York
