Capitalism hits the fan [videorecording] : a lecture on the economic meltdown / Media Education Foundation ; written and presented by Richard Wolff ; produced & directed by Sut Jhally.
"Richard Wolff breaks down the root causes of today's economic crisis, showing how it was decades in the making and in fact reflects seismic failures within the structures of American-style capitalism itself. Wolff traces the sources of the economic crisis to the 1970's, when wages began to stagnate and American workers were forced into a dysfunctional spiral of borrowing and debt that ultimately exploded in the mortgage meltdown"--Container.
