Second Thought | Why Are So Many People Losing Faith In Capitalism? @SecondThought | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.

What is it about capitalism that is so unappealing to young people? In this episode, we'll discuss the trend away from capitalism, the appeal of socialism as an alternative, and consider what normal people can do to help hasten the demise of the predatory, outdated system that is capitalism.
