Richard D. Wolff, born on this day in 1942, is a Marxist economist and author known for co-founding Democracy at Work and hosting Economic Update, a weekly series which discusses political and economic issues from a Marxist perspective.

Wolff is also Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University in New York.

In 1988, Wolff co-founded "Rethinking Marxism", a still running academic journal dedicated to Marxist analyses of economics, culture, and society. Among his other works are "Capitalism Hits the Fan" (2009) and "Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism".

Wolff hosts the weekly 30-minute-long program, Economic Update, which is produced by the non-profit Democracy at Work, which he co-founded.

The New York Times dubbed Wolff "America's most prominent Marxist economist", and he is featured regularly in television, print, and internet media.

"If you lived with a roommate as unstable as this economic system, you would've moved out or demanded that your roommate get professional help."

    It was my entire extended family going poggers in the family group chat over Finland being accepted into Nato

    I thought someone had been in an accident or died
