Richard Wolff, Glenn Diesen: China Won the Economic War & the West Fragments. What can we learn?

by Glenn Diesen [1-24-2026].

(RAD: China is a big problem for the US & the West. Everything the US has tried against China has failed. Unfortunately, the US hasn't been asking the right questions. How was China able to become a manufacturing & economic powerhouse while rising from a 3rd world destroyed country that suffered greatly during WW1 & WW2?

The US & Europe haven't been willing to ask the right questions. In the meantime, the economies of China, Russia, and other BRICS nations will continue to thrive. This shouldn't be a question about which type of political structure, such as capitalism or socialism, is the best. It should be a question about what works. This is a thought provoking discussion that deserves attention. — RAD)

Prof. Richard Wolff discusses how the profound economic problems across the West manifest themselves in societal and political problems.
