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

Ripple Effects

More free time and less stress. Extra money in the bank. While minimalists often report such benefits of the lifestyle over and over, for many of us, it goes deeper. Indeed, a minimalist lifestyle may fundamentally change the way we interact with the world. As this podcast approaches its 500th episode I find myself curious about the ways in which adopting a minimalist or minimal-ish outlook has altered the ways in which we as community act and think. On today's show: A conversation with minimalist Elaina Jindra about just some of the ways her life is different these days.   Here's a preview of the minimalism-inspired habit changes we are discussing today: [8:00] Watching less television and turning away from mass media [14:00] Buying in bulk, no more [19:00] Storing it at the store? Sure. Plus: Storing it at Goodwill! [22:00] Eating healthier and drinking less alcohol [25:00] Stepping into the role of 'creator' while losing the identity of 'consumer'   Resources mentioned: Sign up for the Sustainable Minimalists newsletter (it's free!) here Hobby Hour (via Substack)   This show is listener-supported. Thank you for supporting!
