008 Late-Stage Capitalism: Explored

Welcome back!   Today I take on the topic of Capitalism, something that has taken up a lot of my thought throughout my life and especially lately.   Many will tell you we are in late-stage capitalism now and I would have to agree.   Capitalism has created an opportunity for us to now go beyond it.   We still have a ways to go but we are making great headway, for example with the internet and A.I.   If the topic of alternatives to capitalism interests you definitely check out "Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition" by Charles Eisenstein. I recommend this book for it's thought provoking exposition of where we are, where we have been and where we are going . I agree with him that the "Gift Economy" as he terms it is the original as well as the future economy.   I wholeheartedly believe we are headed towards a better world that is hard to even imagine right now.   It will have more freedom than we have ever experienced and the artists of the world will not be starving anymore.   We will be connected to our own unique gifts and the whole planet will prosper.   This is part of my vision that I am still developing but I already know is coming true.   I implore you -- watch the patterns for yourself!   Thank you and see you next time.   ig: @dmitrymakelove
