On Sunday, January 16th, 2011, Professor Wolff spoke at the Berkley Hillside Club, presented by KPFA. In less than two hours he, an excellent orator with a robust sense of humor, breaks down the history and presence of the US economy from a radical (= going to the roots) but non-dogmatic perspective.

Richard D. Wolff (born April 1942, Youngstown, Ohio) is an American economist, well-known for his work on Marxian economics, economic methodology and class analysis. He earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard in 1963 and moved on to Stanford (he attained an Msc in 1964) to study with Paul A. Baran. Baran died prematurely from a heart attack in 1964 and Wolff transferred to Yale University, were he received his Ph.D. in economics in 1969. His dissertation, "The Economics of Colonialism: Britain and Kenya" was eventually published in book form in 1974. Wolff is married to (and sometimes co-authors with) psychoanalyst Harriet Fraad.
