In this Episode conversations with Susan Witt and David Fix from the Schumacher Center for a new Economics are explored which focused on the social and economic dimensions of land ownership. The episode moves through a simple and elegant characterization of economics shared by Susan, how to understand what a commodity is and how treating land like a commodity unleashes anti-social dynamics in the economy and drives unjust inequality. This episode shares from one of the conversations taking place as preparation for the upcoming event: “Working for Freedom and the Common Good”, September 19-21 at the Goetheanum, an intergenerational conversation about global economic cooperation and peace 100 years after the first “World Power Conference”.
