The conversation explores the biblical principles of Sabbath and Jubilee, emphasizing their relevance in combating burnout and exhaustion in today's capitalist society. We highlight the communal nature of potlatch and how it contrasts with hyper-individualistic capitalism.
The episode reveals the impact of capitalism on daily life and the resistance to its constant pressure.
