What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word “Christmas”? Most people would probably say “presents”, kids might say “Santa”. If you haven’t taken the uber capitalistic approach, you might be more on the side of something religious being top of mind. Has Christmas always had such a large tie-in with capitalism?
This episode join Carolanne and Matt as they dive into the lies capitalism and advertising have been selling you to make this one of the most successful and profitable shopping seasons of the year. This week's booze of choice: Guinness.
