Richard D. Wolff is a Marxian economist known for his critical analysis of capitalism and advocacy for alternative economic systems. As professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a visiting professor at The New School in New York, Wolff has established himself as a prominent figure in heterodox economics, with a focus on class analysis, economic crises, and the dynamics of global capitalism. He is the founder of Democracy at Work, an organization that promotes worker cooperatives and workplace democracy, and regularly contributes to economic discourse through writing, lectures, and media appearances.

Wolff hosts the nationally syndicated radio and television show "Economic Update," where he discusses economic events and policy debates. His books, including "Capitalism Hits the Fan" and "Understanding Marxism," are recognized resources for those interested in alternative economic perspectives. His lectures have been presented at universities, conferences, and public forums internationally.

Throughout his career, Wolff has addressed topics such as economic inequality, the financial crisis, and the future of work, emphasizing the role of democratic participation in economic life. His ongoing engagement with the public and willingness to challenge mainstream economic narratives have established him as an authority in both academic and public spheres.
