LAW AND DISORDER SEPTEMBER 16, 2024

Co-hosts Michael Smith and Jim Lafferty speak with returning guest Professor Rick Wolff about capitalism’s relationship with democracy and fascism in the United States today. Hosts chart a course into the historic  rise of fascism in Germany 100 years ago, to help understand the parallels many are witnessing now. Richard Wolff, Professor Emeritus from the University of Massachusetts is the author of the forthcoming book, Understanding Capitalism.

As our nation continues to be divided amid how the State of Israel conducts its war in Palestine, we examine the history and meaning of Zionism. Co-hosts Jim Lafferty and Michael Smith are joined by Emmaia Gelman, former professor at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, and the founder of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism. Emmaia will help us understand the distinction between expressions of anti-Semitism, and criticism of Israel as a Zionist state. She is also the author of a new book on the powerful Zionist organization, the Anti-Defamation League, which is about to be published by the University of California Press.
