Ask Prof Wolff: Tribalism - How Capitalism Divides Us

A Patron of Economic Update asks: "I have a suggestion for a topic you might want to explore in one of your videos: alienation, contemporary tribalism, and Capitalism. I've been reading several articles on American tribalism, but they all fail to make the connections to our Capitalist structures. Many of these articles only connect tribalism with Trump's extreme right followers, without referencing the general tribalism found in U.S. history and consumer culture."

This is Professor Richard Wolff's video response.
