Economic System: An Economy that Serves Humanity and the Earth with Wayne Armitstead, Matt Birkhold, David Caplan, Erick Murillo Ramos, Gagan Oberoi

In this provocative episode, we move beyond the definitions of capitalism, socialism, and communism, through the assumptions of inequality as the backbone of our system, to a vision for a new economy. Our guests have knowledge of and insights from different corners of the economic world. Wayne Armitstead having authored Capitalism  Perverted,  as a prior stockbroker, sees a system that is too unstable to serve even the richer among us.  Matt Birkhold has studied the history of capitalism and is an organizer and movement-builder who sees the power of collectives to create alternatives to the mainstream. David Caplan is an accountant with vast experience in State Government who sees the limitations to how our electoral process influence the economy. Erick Murillo Ramos served in national and international economic institutions: the Central bank of Mexico, the IMF, and the World Bank. Gagan Oberoi is a marketing specialist who trained staff in large international corporations around the increase of consumption. Together, they envision an economy that serves humanity, the earth, and profits, and begin to consider what supports are needed to fulfill that vision.
