Hello, everyone, welcome to a new episode. Um today I have here a s a very special guest, Dr. Richard Wolf, he's Professor of Economics Emeritus at University of Massachusetts M Hurst. And today we're talking about socialism and Marxism, perhaps trying to tackle some common misconceptions about them. So Doctor Wolf, welcome to the show. It's an honor to everyone. Thank you very much, Ricardo. I'm very glad to be here. So as I said at the beginning, uh I'm we're going to talk about socialism and Marxism. I would like to start with socialism, and as we do so, I would like to also perhaps try to tackle some common misconceptions about it and Marxism later on.
So How would you characterize socialism. What are its main tenants? Socialism has meant different things to different people
At different moments in now a history. That is two centuries old. Uh the reality is it begins to be a common idea, common name. Early in the nineteenth century.
