Tune in to "The Birth of Caring Societies with Riane Eisler" 2/18/22 at 10am PT on Leading Conversations Radio where Riane Eisler & Cheryl Esposito will explore caring economics.
Here's an audacious question: What do you think it would take to create a "caring society" in any country? Most people turn to compassionate behaviors and seeing all people as important. Not Riane Eisler. She says to make anything like this real, we have to make it part of the economic system. Only then is there a chance for caring government & business policies.
Cheryl welcomes Riane Eisler, bestselling author of The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics; Nurturing Our Humanity; The Chalice & the Blade; & The Power of Partnership. Riane's story begins in Austria, where as a small child she and her family fled from the Nazis. This trauma led to her quest to understand why horrible things like the Holocaust can happen – and what we can do so they do not happen again. Today she is an eminent social scientist, attorney, author, & social activist.
Riane recognizes, "Our nation & our world are hungry for new ways of thinking." We can be a sympathetic world by creating "caring societies" working through the economic system. "...as long as caring is off the economic scale, it's not realistic to expect more caring government & business policies." Riane emphasizes "Partnership Politics" - it takes us out of conventional political conversation. It is not religious vs. secular, right vs. left, Eastern vs. Western, capitalist vs. socialist, etc. It is focus on long-term policies foundational for the more peaceful, equitable, & environmentally sustainable world we all want & need." Having a hard time imagining this?
Well, step up. It's time for audacious action.
