Is it a bad thing to be a "capitalist?" Why is the word being used as a diss? And how do Americans' shifting attitudes towards it show up in your discourse and your favorite movies? This is… The ABCs of the Culture Wars. For the next few weeks, Brittany breaks down the history, subtext, and evolving meanings of the buzzwords you hear all over the news and social media. Today we're talking about the C-word: Capitalism. And why the word is increasingly divisive in politics and culture.
