The interview, now <a href="https://soundcloud.com/freecityradio/229-author-keren-wang-on-human-sacrifice-as-inherent-to-capitalism-today?utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing"><strong>available on SoundCloud</strong></a>, is part of an interview series that examines the foundational realities of modern-day capitalism, specifically shaped by the notion of <strong>human sacrifice</strong> as a necessary element of economic systems.</p> <p><strong>Here’s a link to the interview: <em><a href="https://soundcloud.com/freecityradio/229-author-keren-wang-on-human-sacrifice-as-inherent-to-capitalism-today" rel="noopener" target="_new">Author Keren Wang on Human Sacrifice as Inherent to Capitalism Today</a></em></strong>.
