Night and Day: Productivity vs Productive Capacity
In this episode, Ruth Glendinning and Kent Dahlgren delve into the important differences between productivity and productive capacity.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but are actually quite different when used in the context of sustainable, inclusive local economy that may evolve to become one that's truly anti-fragile.
What is the value of work? Or time?
Productivity is generally mapped using transactional measures, as in how valuable are your actions to the desired outcome of the person paying you.
On the other hand, Productive Capacity refers to other gifts or talents that you have that are less easily measured, and often hidden until the right conditions are created and bring them forward.
Ultimately, we’re all much more complex & interesting than we’ve been entrained to believe. To create truly anti-fragile communities, need places in which we can all bring our whole selves to bear when we seek to bring forward new stories of the world we want to live in.
The bottom line is that there’s more to everybody than the current system allows, one that's often built upon the extractive, destructive quality of predatory capitalism and its counterpart: corporatism.
We are trained and conditioned to believe we are a cost, and not worth very much, as alluded to in one of our prior podcast episodes: "Weaponizing Language."
The Anti-Fragile Wealth Production model is designed to emerge those gifts and allow a richly diversified collaboration that inspires the sustained functioning of a community that delivers improved health, wealth, prosperity, and safety.
An embrace of anti-fragile best practices aspires to unlock the potential for rooting and growing strong neighborhoods in which integrated economic and community development is practiced as organized collaborative action to:
With the advent of ‘work anywhere’ technology, there is a growing opportunity for deeply rooted urban populations to activate the invisible capitals of trust, relationship, community, history and commitment to a shared future, leading to a higher quality of life and better opportunity to develop community-rooted value-based business.
