It would be cool if there was a book or film or something that does a history of capitalist crimes. I don't think there is such a thing so might make one. It could be divided into parts by country/region, or there could be a set of them for different countries. The idea is to be explaining not only the terrible things that happened but also explaining the economic forces behind them (for example, the Irish famine and the British importing food from Ireland, or the forces of capital and US slavery, modern starvation and neocolonial exploitation in africa, etc).
I really think people need to be aware of what effects the market has had on humanity and a chronological set of illustrations and 'highlights' would be the best way.
Not sure what form this would take. A book, youtube videos, etc.. but it would basically be like the peoples history of america but with the economic dimension more clearly exposed. (or maybe some supplementary annotations for the peoples history?).
A set of youtube slideshows might work best. But i'm shit at research and would need help if not making them at least some help compiling a historical timeline of market atrocities. would be great if anyone could do that ? Please state what happened and also briefly the market forces behind it. Or are there any links ? I wanna do one country/region at a time and am thinking of starting with Ireland/Britain
