Confronting Complicity in Capitalism, Week 2: Stories We Tell

Week 2 of our experiment – and this week, we are physically in the same place!

Which means… lots of rich inquiry into the stories that have been keeping us stuck in traditional patterns of money and privilege.

We notice how many of our stories are false binaries:

Spending less is better … yet accumulation is problematic
Accumulation gives me safety and security … yet it means money doesn’t flow where it’s needed
I’m only “legitimate” if I do paid work with a title and salary … or I reject it completely and stand alone
I’m either dependent on others (and thus not in choice) … or independent (and thus separate)
I’m either an “enslaved employee” … or an “entitled spoiled brat”

Follow along on video (LinkedIn) or audio (this podcast) and blog (medium).

As you listen, we’d love to hear:

What stories or binaries do you hold?

What did you learn - or unlearn - about legitimacy?
