Could probably just drop the lyrics to Fugazi's "Merchandise" here and call it a wrap...
This week, it's all about capitalism:
- When were you first aware that things cost money?
- When were you first introduced to the idea of an economy?
- What's the first major purchase you remember someone making?
- What's the first major purchase you made on your own?
- How do your major and minor purchases affect society?
- Is our current system of capitalism different to the one you remember from 20-30 years ago?
- Is capitalism a good way to run a society?
- Is an economy more important than the people in that society?
- How would you change our current system of capitalism, if at all?
- Is there a better system already out there? Or do we need something new to replace capitalism?
- What's the future of (American) capitalism?
