  • Resumen

  • In this thought-provoking episode, host Mark Fallows explores why economic inequality persists despite overwhelming evidence of its damaging effects. Fallows examines economist Gary Stevenson's stark assessment of wealth concentration and connects it with Jon Alexander's work on the narratives that shape our society. The episode delves into how our collective stories; from being "subjects" to being "consumers" have blinded us to systemic issues and blocked meaningful change. Fallows concludes by introducing the emerging "Citizen Story" as an alternative framework that could transform how we address inequality through collaboration, agency, and shared responsibility. This episode challenges listeners to reconsider the stories they live by and their power to reshape our economic future.
