Professor Richard Wolff sheds light on the role that racism has played as an essential tool for maintaining the capitalist order. Says Wolff, "U.S. capitalism solved its instability problem by making cyclical downturns afflict chiefly a minority subpart of the whole working class." He explains how and why this "feature" has served to keep us all locked in to the inefficient, contradictory system.
