Why Food Prices Are Rising - Economic Update with Richard Wolff

Prof Wolff takes a look at soaring food prices in the U.S. and how "free markets" are starving Americans. He also asks if inflation is the result of only large corporations or if small businesses are raising prices as well. "Letting prices of food go up means you're feeding the richest, and you're starving the poorest. You can color it any way you want. That's the reality. That's how capitalist markets work. And when food is the item that's scarce, that's what we're letting happen now. It is outrageous and ought to be the object of anger and bitterness, and my expectation is it will be as the hurt and the hunger set in." - Richard Wolff This is a clip from S12 E19 of Economic Update: Jobs Driving Us Mad Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel at    • Economic Update: Jobs Driving Us Mad   You can also listen to this show on our website or as a podcast on your favorite podcast player. ______________________________________________________________________________________ We make it a point to provide the show free of ads.
