Economist Donnie Maclurcan says there are ways city dwellers can be encouraged to share more readily. In this episode of The Future City Podcast we speak with Executive Director of the Post-Growth Institute Donnie Maclurcan. Donnie has spent over 15 years investigating how to re-teach people in cities to feel safe enough to share their offers and needs. Donnie says capitalism has traumatized us but that there are powerful ways many people are rebuilding a more just economic system from the ground up. Donnie speaks with us about how we are conditioned to feel like consumers rather than producers and why getting people to give to their neighbors offers an opportunity to work through some of the trauma capitalism embeds in our lived experience.
