Global Capitalism: Affordability: Why So Much Costs Too Much and What to do About it
Replay from Live Global Capitalism Event held 11/12/2025
We are thrilled to share the replay of Democracy at Work and The Left Forum’s special live, in-person Global Capitalism event, held last November 12, 2025 at Women Building Up (WBU). Professor Wolff addressed the topic of “Affordability: Why So Much Costs Too Much and What to do About it”
In our capitalist economy, employers pay wages and set prices that together determine whether a decent life is affordable. Employers’ goal is to maximize their profit. But employees – the vast majority of us – have different goals. One of them is basic affordability. In this presentation of Global Capitalism, Professor Wolff discusses the factors at play in determining our cost of living, and ways we can and should get involved in affecting them.
We would like to thank Susan Shah, Kim Westcott and all the remarkable people at Women Building Up for hosting Democracy At Work and The Left Forum. Presented by Democracy at Work and the Left Forum.
