Social Studies 30: The Alternative to Capitalism

Last week, we were looking at the pros and cons of capitalism and how focusing completely on the individual does have benefits, but can also cause great harm to others in society. I am not in class on Monday, so you will be working off the blog to watch videos and fill in notes to complete what we would have otherwise would have covered in class. Because you will be watching these videos on at your own pace in the computer lab, YOU WILL NEED YOUR HEADPHONES. Please don't forget them.
