What Could Possibly Go Right?

#100 Riane Eisler: Shifting from Domination to a Partnership System


Listen Later

Riane Eisler is a social systems scientist, cultural historian, futurist, and attorney whose research, writing, and speaking has transformed the lives of people worldwide. Her newest work, Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future, co-authored with anthropologist Douglas Fry, shows how to construct a more equitable, sustainable, and less violent world based on Partnership rather than Domination. Dr. Eisler is founder and president of the Center for Partnership Studies (CPS), dedicated to research and education.

She answers the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

  • That “there's still this distracting argument between capitalism or socialism” and that “yes, we need enlightened government policies, but we really need to go deeper and wider and beyond”
  • The focus on four cornerstones for partnership or domination systems: family/childhood, gender, economics, narratives/language
  • The use of social wealth economic indicators as better measures for quality of life
