Your Late Stage Capitalism Survival Kit

Your Late Stage Capitalism Survival Kit

Does it sometimes feel as though the passive act of being alive is too expensive and too difficult? You’re not alone: Many scholars argue that late stage capitalism is what happens when everything (literally everything!) is commodified. Existing feels unnecessarily hard, too.

There IS good news: Surviving (and perhaps even thriving!) in a late stage capitalist society is possible. On today’s show Laura Oldanie shows us exactly how to sur-thrive, with 6 actionable steps.

 

Here’s a preview of the strategies we’re discussing today:

[15:00] Pay attention to when and how you’re influenced

[17:00] Think of yourself less as a consumer and more as producer

[21:00] Use your attention capital wisely

[27:00] Embrace different forms of currency (free time, perhaps?)

[35:00] Reduce unnecessary consumption and get off that capitalist hamster wheel, for good
