Global Capitalism: June 2013 Monthly Update (Richard Wolff)

One thing he completely fails to account for, in this otherwise shrewd and necessary talk, is the role of automation and techological/climatic change.

It's not that jobs 'aren't coming back' as he hammers home, it's that they will not exist anymore. Otherwise, he is spot on, but I think his analysis would benefit from incorporating a few extra-economic trends that will be having a decisive impact alongside the factors he outlines.

Two complimentary resources here:

• Dept the first 5,000 years (really can't recommend this book enogh)
• Race Against The Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming Employment and the Economy (and the authors have been posted here a few time)

That motherfucker is standing alone in his living room.
