  If letting workers democratically manage corporations would actually be more efficient as this professor claims, why aren't they already doing that? This idea strikes me as non-sense. Start-ups with few employees do operate this way, but then they grow larger and it inevitably causes problems. That's how the rules of an organization get established.

  I detect a strong "perpetual victim" complex from this interview. They interpret every aspect of our society in terms of who is supposedly being victimized by it. That's really the fundamental problem with the left these days. My advice to anyone who has this sort of perspective about things is stop seeing yourself as a victim. If you're an American, you actually have a pretty good life and you'd be better off concerning yourself with what you're going to make of the opportunities that you have.
