Profit & Pain
The Human Cost of Corporate Greed
Behind gleaming skyscrapers, billion-pound industries, and record-breaking profits lies a darker truth—one of exploitation, inequality, and systemic greed. While corporations present themselves as engines of progress and innovation, many operate through unchecked power, exploitative labour practices, and underhanded financial tactics that come at the cost of workers, consumers, and communities.
Profit & Pain goes beyond financial reports and PR statements to uncover the excesses, unethical practices, and systemic inequalities that fuel global capitalism. From modern-day sweatshops and wage suppression to financial crashes and corporate deception, this series investigates how global industries prioritise profit over people—and the consequences that follow.
At Ennui Nation, we expose how corporate greed is protected by lobbying, legal loopholes, and media influence, ensuring that those responsible for economic and social harm are held to account.
This is capitalism beyond the headlines—analysed, contextualised, and presented with clarity, accuracy, and depth.
