Conventional economists hate contradictions - Richard Wolff & David Harvey

Richard Wolff and David Harvey discuss misconceptions of mainstream or bourgeois economists who deny the Marxist concept of contradictions and make critical errors that have real and painful consequences for the majority of people. “It’s fine when everything’s going fine but in a crisis, [Marx] says all your Bourgeois economists can do is to say ’this would not happen if only capitalism would perform the way I depict it in my textbook!’ It’s wonderful kind of thing to kind of say, you know?“- David Harvey This is a clip from the live virtual event “Marxism for this Moment,” featuring a conversation between Richard Wolff and David Harvey, two experts with long histories of applying Marx’s ideas to our current politics in insightful and educational ways.
