    AEWCH 320: A NEW SPIRITUAL SOCIETY, PT 4 - The spiritual heart of ECONOMY

    Like many people, I often feel that I don’t understand economics, but, like everyone, I have my own role to play in the economy. So do you. So does everyone. We are all in economy, so we all have something to offer in understanding it.AEWCH 24 guest Erin Ryan once joked that  “Economics is astrology for dudes”  Economics feels intentionally mystified, filled with untruths and abstractions, and hopelessly complicated. Those who claim they do understand it are usually people (certain kinds of men, as per Ryan’s joke) who use the economy in a certain way, and are therefore limited to a certain view of it. Because we are kept at arms length from economic understanding, we have to resort to questions like, “Why is this piece of paper worth something?” or , “Why do numbers moving from one account to another mean something?” If we're not outright ridiculed for asking, we are often left without much more than broad answers that are detached from history and that lead us away from doing anything about whatever we’ve learned. But these are the questions we need to ask, and we need to come up with new answers. This is fourth episode in my series of episodes called A New Spiritual Society, working through how to renew, revitalize, and re-engage with culture, politics, and economics by looking at their spiritual heart.  This episode stands on its own - but you can also enrich the listening by starting with the introduction to this series on AEWCH 317, if you want to hear more about how and why I’m approaching. AEWCH 318 is on culture, and AEWCH 319 is on politics. I hope you find this look at the spiritual heart of economy gratifying, and a help in circulating new perspectives that are closer to the truth.

    AEWCH 317: A NEW SPIRITUAL SOCIETY, PT 1 - An Introduction To Social Threefolding For Our Time & Renewing Culture, Politics, and Economy

    Friends, We might not feel up to the task, of changing the world, but not only are we up to the task, but we are all engaged with it already. No one who has ever lived, even briefly, has not altered the earth by contributing their own destiny to it, and the way in which that destiny radiated out to affect everyone. Shaping the world is part of being alive. We all contribute. This is often broken down into a clunky simplistic and fundamentally flawed statement that “everything is political.” But the truth is everything in our lives - individually, with each other, and with the whole of humanity not to mention the earth itself - is connected to natural, human, and spiritual laws. How do we bring ourselves out of the automatic everyday ways we shape the world just by merely existing, and into the intentional, purposeful, and true activity of developing a newly spiritual society? Welcome to my new series of episodes on how to start to renew and recreate the social world in our time: A NEW SPIRITUAL SOCIETY Over the coming episodes, I'll be looking into the spiritual heart of culture, politics, and economics, to see what's living there, and how we can bring ourselves to the task of nourishing it. With Rudolf Steiner's concept of social threefolding as a companion along the way, we'll move past old ideas and into essential, living concepts to move forward. On this first episode, I introduce what I'm up to, define the terms, set the direction, and invite you along. Support the show via patreon. Patreon.com/connerhabib
