Foremother Genevieve Vaughan, founder of the all-women multicultural Foundation for a Compassionate Society discusses Shifting the Paradigm to Gift Economy and away from predator capitalism that causes so much suffering and destruction. We'll learn how Gen got into this philsophy, why exchange is so popular and how this could lead toward a more peaceful world. We'll discuss homo donans, the interpersonal neurobiology of mothers and children and discover what that has to do with the gift economy. What is gift vs exchange? And are there societies basedon gifting? I'll ask Genevieve how we can start making this a reality and what challenges she's been up against teaching these new ideas.
