How To Be An Anti-Capitalist
Manage episode 452057210 series 3289644
Capitalism has transformed the world, sure. But at what cost? (Immense environmental ones, of course.)
Americans, it's high-time we accept that the Golden Age of capitalism is long gone. On today's show: A frank discussion with sustainable finance visionary Kara Perez about insulating ourselves from late-stage capitalism's most damaging effects with individual and collective action.
Here's a preview:
[6:00] Money is a tool for change, and yet it's literally something we made up
[11:00] Can we be nickled and dimed even more than we already are? (Spoiler alert: Yes.)
[14:00] A few of the ways in which shareholder capitalism limits society's ability to progress
[22:00] Tangible ways you and I can "change the flow of money"
Resources mentioned:
- Episode #395: Lifestyle Creep (with Kara Perez)
- Green Money: How to Reduce Waste, Build Wealth, and Create a Better Future for All
- How to Be an Anticapitalist in the Twenty-First Century (by Erik Olin Wright)
