Today we’re bringing you something a bit different, made by our friends at Scene On Radio: the debut episode of their seventh season, Capitalism.
The world’s dominant economic system is on trial as it hasn’t been for at least half a century. Millions, young people especially, now see capitalism as the problem, not the solution. Others fear throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Story editor: Loretta Williams. Music by Michelle Osis, Lilli Haydn, Alex Symcox, and Goodnight, Lucas. Music consulting by Joe Augustine of Narrative Music. Art by Gergo Varga and Harper Biewen.
“Capitalism” is a production of the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University, in partnership with Imperative 21.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
