Capitalism Hits Home: Addiction, Suicide, and Psych Drugs - Life Is Painful In Today's USA (1 of 2)

[S07 E03]

Addiction, Suicide, and Psych Drugs are all heavily marketed. Opioid medications like Oxycontin induce addiction, guns facilitate suicide, and pills numb justified anxiety and depression. Why are they now epidemics?


Capitalism Hits Home is a Democracy At Work production. The show addresses the intersection of capitalism, class, and personal lives, and explores what is happening in the economic realm and its impact on our individual and social psychology.
