Cool Mules | Canadaland Investigates

"This sounds like easy money."

"They pay you in coolness."

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. 

By John Biewen, with co-host Ellen McGirt. Interviews with John Fullerton, Cassandra Brooks and Charlene Brooks. 

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.

Back in Canada, Hassan Diab’s life is hanging in limbo. He may be arrested at any moment, and Canada’s government won’t ensure his safety. What does justice mean for the victims of the Copernic attack, and what does it mean for Diab and his supporters?

This show is only possible because people like you believe in it and support it. By becoming a Canadaland supporter, you will be supporting rigorous independent journalism and journalists and making sure many more investigations like this one get published. 

Hassan Diab faces a new reality in Europe’s largest maximum security prison. But when Marc Trévidic is replaced by new investigative judges, the case is thrown into uncertainty - and Hassan's fortunes begin to shift.
