Prof Wolff talks about Marx's central observation: how employment exploits people in a fundamentally unequal and undemocratic way. Like slavery, we may need a new amendment to abolish this economic relationship of employer/employee.

"Marx's conclusion was clear. This system has to be changed, and right at the core: in the workplace. We have go to stop an arrangement in which a mass of people work hard to enable a very small number of people to control everything and to amass the riches that labor together achieves. If we don't change that system, we will be looking at inequality, instability, injustice forever." - Richard Wolff
