120 — Money Shame
Manage episode 284214320 series 2870328
Especially when it comes to our personal finances, we have a culture of shame and secrecy surrounding money. Why is money so hard to talk about? Is it a bad thing? Is this "money shame" a problem for society or is it useful in some way? Is it both?
Today, people go to great lengths to hide their poverty *and* to hide their wealth. How would basic income influence how we feel, how we think, and how we talk about our personal finances?
Featured guest Conrad Shaw will dig into these questions with us. As a writer, Conrad has explored the intersection of basic income and human nature.
For optional reading, we have a brand new Medium article by Conrad entitled, "The Shame that Binds Us."
