Jason Hartman speaks on financial literacy in the US. Foreign buying dries up, easing the way for domestic buyers. Jason poses the question, how have American commercial spaces changed, particularly when looking at the decreasing foot traffic of gyms, a commercial space that has done quite well in the past.  Dr. Richard D. Wolff, professor of economics and author of Understanding Marxism, joins Jason Hartman today, discussing the global economic meltdown. Wolff shares his interpretation of marxism and why he believes that is has been poorly applied.
