Breaking the System: Scarcity, Empathy, and the Future of Economics

In this hard-hitting episode, Justin and Ilara dive deep into the crumbling foundations of the current global economic system. From wealth inequality and environmental collapse to the manipulations of media and power-hungry elites, no stone is left unturned.

We explore:

The top three forces driving the failure of the current economic paradigm

Why revolutions often fail to bring lasting change

The illusion of political choice in modern democracies

How media scapegoating distracts from systemic issues

Whether Trump’s chaos strategy could backfire and push the U.S. leftward

The philosophical and practical value of empathy in economic design

Why mental health crises are a symptom of systemic dysfunction

The possibility of transitioning to a post-scarcity, empathy-driven future
