Democracy at Work is a non-profit 501(c)3 that produces media and live events. Our work analyzes capitalism critically as a systemic problem and advocates for democratizing workplaces as part of a systemic solution. We seek a stronger, fuller democracy – in our politics and culture as well as in our economy - based on workers’ equal collaboration and shared leadership inside enterprises and throughout society.

[GCAP 11.25]: Affordability: Why So Much Costs Too Much and What to do About it In our capitalist economy, employers pay wages and set prices that together determine whether a decent life is affordable. Employers’ goal is to maximize their profit. But employees – the vast majority of us – have different goals. One of them is basic affordability. In this presentation of Global Capitalism, Professor Wolff discusses the factors at play in determining our cost of living, and ways we can and should get involved in affecting them.
