What happens when a young human rights advocate discovers the power of economics to transform society? In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, Robyn Baker shares her journey from studying political science to reimagining economic systems that value caregiving, nature, and equity. Inspired by Riane Eisler’s partnership framework, Robyn explores how tools like the Social Wealth Index and community currencies can help communities thrive beyond the limits of GDP. Drawing on her international experiences in South Africa, the U.S., France, and Sweden, she reflects on the lessons her generation can bring to building a future rooted in care, connection, and shared responsibility.
