IS SANTA CLAUS A CAPITALIST ICON? – A lively Holiday Special with Asad Rehman

Alas! Santa Claus is coming to town!! And we’re having a
Christmas debate on a hot button topic that is dividing
people. Is Santa a socialist or a merciless capitalist?


Liz and Nadia talk to Asad Rehman, the Executive Director of
War on Want. He’s a lifelong campaigner against racialised
capitalism, economic, climate and social injustice – and he’s got
some beef with Santa! This is one for the books. With lots of
laughter and music.
