[S12 E41] Means TV - An Anti Capitalist Netflix

In this week's show, Prof. Wolff discusses global capitalism's "perfect storm" (inflation + rising interest rates + reduced production = "stagflation"); 1000 SFO food workers strike and win; FedEx reinforces "stagflation" predictions, and hurricane Ian confirms system's failures to plan for predictable disasters to lessen their costs and impacts. In the second half of the show, Wolff interviews Nick Hayes of Means TV on how it has grown as an "anti-capitalist" Netflix.

Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff is a @democracyatwrk production. We make it a point to provide the show free of ads. Please consider supporting our work. Join our Patreon community: [ Ссылка ] and help us spread Prof. Wolff's message to a larger audience. Every donation counts!

About our Guest: Nick Hayes is the Head of Content Development for Means TV in Portland, ME. Formerly working as a producer on commercials for brands like GM, Google, McDonalds, and Ford, then as a documentary filmmaker, Nick would become jaded about the values and ethics associated with commercial production. In 2019 he formed his own production company with partner Naomi and together they directed the first AOC campaign video. This success generated press coverage and support that translated into the successful crowdfunding campaign for Means TV. Now Nick works at the coop as the head of content development collaborating with showrunners on original content in addition to himself having filmed and directed many videos, films and series on Means TV.

Means TV is the world’s first worker-owned streaming service. With a growing catalog of anti-capitalist documentaries, movies, and short films, Means TV seeks to elevate filmmakers and voices often shut out by larger networks and studios.
