How Voluntary Simple Living and Jubilee Economics Work Together: July Podcast
In The Common Good Podcast for July, Lee and Gerald find common ground in the micro-economics of voluntary simple living and the macro of Jubilee Economics.Listen or subscribe for free here. Or use iTunes (search for The Common Good Podcast). Like our podcast on Facebook here.
The Practical Side in August
In part 2 in August, Ed and Gerald go beyond the concepts to the practical. Listen or subscribe here.
We wrestle with these topics. . .
1. When do we realize that stuff has too much power in our lives? When we move! Hear the harsh reality and ways to deal with it.
2. How can our little personal choices really have any effect on the big decisions made by governments and corporations? You may be surprised. . . and annoyed.
3. Advertising is designed to keep us dissatisfied, to make us feel that we’ll be better or more popular when we buy a particular product. How can we resist that pressure? How do we help children?
4. Will Jubilee Economics or simple living make any real difference?
When we’re through, or even while we’re still talking, you can respond easily and quickly to what we’re saying. And your ideas and comments – in your own voice! – can be part of a future ‘cast. Jubilee Economics – or JEM – is about building community that will find, develop and use economic models large and small that are sustainable on ONE Earth.
