Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Desperate Acts of Capitalism is an American comedy/historic podcast hosted by CT Kelly and Evan Swopes. Much in the style of The Dollop and Behind the Bastards, each episode consists of the hosts reading stories to one another and comedically riffing on them.In this case, these are stories of the bizarre, unethical, and/or outright illegal ways in which companies attempt to improve the bottom line. Special attention is paid to failures in this process - the Unintentional Uncanny Valley effect which led many ImageMover films to flop, for example, or the way that Radio Shack squandered its excellent retail position before it could take advantage of the maker movement.The series is currently on an indefinite hiatus due to external pressures. | |

Bad Boss | |
| Desperate Acts Of Capitalism (Podcast) / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Many (if not most) of the executives depicted fall into this category. The podcast notes that, near the end, Radio Shack was a factory for these - store managers might join up bright-eyed and empathetic, but the grueling requirements and unrelenting stress swiftly drove many to become shrieking, abusive monsters. | |

Capitalism Is Bad | |
| Desperate Acts Of Capitalism (Podcast) / int_8b60a09b | comment |
Capitalism Is Bad: The show doesn't state this outright, exactly - but it does just about everything short of. The hosts gleefully chronicle the foolish, bizarre, unethical, and illegal things that companies do in their attempts to make money - as well as depicting how often those attempts crash and burn spectacularly. | |

Corporate Conspiracy | |
| Desperate Acts Of Capitalism (Podcast) / int_8eb0370f | comment |
Corporate Conspiracy: Small-scale versions of these show up once or twice. In the Proctor & Gamble Satanic Panic episode, it's eventually revealed that recurring rumors stating that Proctor & Gamble was a front for a satanic cult were being spread by several Amway salesmen, as P&G is a competitor. | |
