What if we shifted to a “needs-based” economy? Part 3 - with Della Duncan, Upstream Podcast
What if we shifted to a needs-based economy?
Join me in our episode today featuring Della Duncan: Renegade Economist, Right Livelihood Coach, Gross National Happiness Trainer and host of the ‘Upstream’ Podcast, for our final deep dive into shifting to a “needs-based” economy.
In our conversation, we cover:
- How the Enclosures, post-WWII period and the mid-1980’s shaped the capitalist economy we see today;
- Why “greed, hatred and delusion” are the root causes of our economic problems;
- What prompted the “disconnectedness” that appeared during the time of the Enclosures;
- I ask Della whether she thinks humans are inherently “good or evil”;
- The importance of “critical thinking” when challenging the capitalist economic paradigm;
- How Western societies are perpetuating the situation of inequality with the Global South;
- How negative interest might address some of the “stagnation” issues we see within the capitalist economy (including an explanation of how money is created);
- Ideas for how we can promote a truly democratic economic system and enhance our rights to freedom of speech;
- The most impactful and helpful teachings Della draws on in her journey as an environmental and spiritual activist; and
- Della gives some insight into her experience at Schumacher College and how it has shaped her to be the person she is today.
