YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAmerican capitalism is shifting fast. The U.S., once a champion of free markets, is now picking winners and shaping whole industries. We look at what this turn toward state capitalism means for Canada. We also dig into how a religious tradition rooted in anticipation of Christ became a booming consumer industry, with advent calendars for everything from wine to ice cream. And finally, we explore why some toys — like Tickle Me Elmo — explode into cultural crazes while others disappear without a trace.
