The Marxist economist Professor Richard Wolff just put out a half hour video on China called The Phenomenon of China, which has been widely viewed on KZbin. It's great that Wolff is talking about China. But, as a Marxist, why is he glossing over important questions about how capitalist class forces have shaped China's economy, with major impacts on millions of people's lives? In this video, I talk about what Wolff says about Chinese urbanization, and provide a very different perspective.
