This is part 2 of our deep dive into the economy of human need. In the last episode we took a look at the difference between having needs…and being needy. We considered whether it might not be the expression of a need that turns people off to helping us, but the hiding of our needs…and the tendency to try and get what we want from others without risking vulnerability. In today’s episode we’re going to zoom out and look at the bigger picture of our economic (and social) structure…and the ways in which it has depersonalized and dehumanized not only the economy of dollar bills, but the social economics that define the exchange of interpersonal resources.
