Economic Update: The Great Replacement Theory

S12 E26 The Great Replacement Theory In this week s show, Prof Wolff discusses the replacement theory s grain of truth amidst its mostly ideological function: to save capitalism from criticism. He analyzes why US capitalists deprived so many white, male, Christian workers of their jobs, incomes, and social standing over recent decades and why that analysis was largely silenced by Cold War taboos since 1945. Were a new US leftlabor alliance now to offer that criticalofcapitalism alternative, replacement theory s notion of a great conspiracy (largely by Democrats) to replace white, male, Christians with others would be far less socially influential.
