We received some comments from the episode "Do immigrants need to work harder”, so we brought Raquel Peterson, an immigrant for 4 years, on to talk a little deeper about capitalism.

Note: Around the 19-minute mark, Paola discusses the differences between Capitalism and Socialism and makes reference to Democracy in a way that is not really correct/clear. We will explore these topics more in future episodes, but you can learn more about the different concepts here (http://www.wesleyanarcadia.com/fall-2019/2020/2/2/capitalism-socialism-communism-and-the-difference-between-social-democracy-and-democratic-socialism). ---------- https://linkme.bio/jobstealer/ We want to share different immigrant points of view - fill out our form and let us know how you feel you can contribute txo this story! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jobstealers/message
