I’m excited to share that I was recently featured on Free City Radio in an in-depth conversation about my research on the concept of human sacrifice in capitalism. The interview, now available on SoundCloud, is part of an interview series that examines the foundational realities of modern-day capitalism, specifically shaped by the notion of human sacrifice as a necessary element of economic systems.

Here’s a link to the interview: Author Keren Wang on Human Sacrifice as Inherent to Capitalism Today. During this conversation, I explore how this framework, traditionally viewed through ancient rituals, continues in modern contexts through the exploitation of labor, environmental destruction, and systemic injustices.

The series is available as a podcast and will also air on the weekly Free City Radio program, which broadcasts on CKUT 90.3fm at 7pm across Canada. You can find the full archives of the program here: Free City Radio on SoundCloud.

Key Points Discussed:

• How modern capitalism mirrors ancient rituals of human sacrifice.
• The ways in which workers and marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by economic policies.
• The intersection of rhetoric, law, and political economy in shaping contemporary forms of sacrifice.
