30 Oct From Avarice to Enlightenment: A New Economic Paradigm
In this episode, we explore “Foundations for a Humanitarian Economy” by William D. Bishop, a thought-provoking examination of how the ancient wisdom of Boethius can reshape our understanding of economics today. Bishop challenges the mathematical supremacy of modern economic thinking, advocating for a model rooted in human values and well-being. He uncovers how Boethius’ *The Consolation of Philosophy* offers profound insights into wealth, poverty, and self-sufficiency that resonate with alternative economic perspectives like Ecological and Buddhist Economics. This enlightening discussion reveals how these timeless ideas critique consumerism and market rationality, posing vital questions about our priorities in an age of global crises. Join us as we consider how rethinking economics can lead to a more compassionate and sustainable future.
