Denver Street Stories

In a special episode of Denver Street Stories we have Professor Thomas Nail from the University of Denver speak to us about capitalism and how it both needs and causes homelessness. He explains some of the history surrounding the development of modern capitalism, how Marx views capitalists, the three requirements for capitalism in America, and much more.
