AskProfWolff: How to Hold On to Systemic Progress

A Patron of Democracy at Work asks: "With so many types of insurances provided in the capitalist system, such as house, car, business, content insurances, and so on, would a democratic-socialist society need to provide such services through institutions or would the government take care of the unexpected incidents' cost?"

This is Professor Richard Wolff's video response.
