The Media Education Foundation has released a new video entitled “Capitalism Hits the Fan,” featuring Rick Wolff. In the video Rick Wolff presents an incisive and succinct analysis of the current “economic crisis” based on a talk he initially delivered in the early fall of 2008. At that time he argued that the economic crisis is not simply confined to the “financial sector” but is in fact a systemic economic crisis effecting all aspects of the formal economy—a position that subsequent events continue to confirm. The video is aimed at colleges, universities, and also high schools for instructional use, but it can serve other purposes as well. The DVD can be ordered online. It is also possible to view the full-length version (just under an hour) freely, albeit in low resolution, at the MEF website. While the institutional prices are high, individuals can order the dvd for $ 19.95.

The DVD contains both the full-length version and a shorter 35-minute version.
