VIJAY PRASHAD on Capitalism’s Erosion of Morality /220

Emboldened by the rapid development of technology, a cultural ethos of rugged individualism, globalization, and the monopolization of our media, the era of efficiency in the so-called Global North has significantly altered our communal symbiosis. For many, acts of service that would have once been fulfilled by neighbors and community have now been replaced by apps and gig workers, ultimately commodifying most of our social relations in one form or another. This week on the podcast, we are joined by guest Vijay Prashad to explore how societies take care of themselves, what true public action looks like in crisis, and how movements across the world have resisted the privatization of life and the devaluation of care that we have become accustomed to. Vijay Prashad is the Director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, Chief Editor at LeftWord Books and Chief Correspondent for Globetrotter. His most recent book is Washington Bullets, just out from Monthly Review Press with a preface by Evo Morales Ayma.
Music by Nathan Keck, Lizabett Russo, Sidi Touré, and Jonathan Yonts.

Rich countries are too self obsessed with Malignant Narcissism but in meantime practice Yoga & Meditation !!
If you're down on your luck , too bad, you're on your own. For the disenfranchised , Policies that the poor have no control over becomes destiny

Forget philanthropy, pay your taxes! This is brilliant! Debt cancellation is a no brainer, why IMF is not doing it?

Humanity has been here once before and God ended the evil with a flood!!! Here we are again.
Will we change or are we doomed to repeat history???

Can you post the reference to the Cuba electric wire strategy? It's brilliant and I can't find it documented anywhere.

For the Wild is for the California's that do not understand why California is one of the largest economy's in the world. While also being a homeless factory. Weird to increase GDP but also have a huge unhoused population.
