Charles Eisenstein ”Questioning Quantification” + Bretton Woods@75 Keynote

Playing for Team Human today, Author and Gift Economy Advocate, Charles Eisenstein.

Charles joins Team Human to share how he believes quantification is changing the way we think about climate, ecology and human beings. Less of an interview, this informal conversation was recorded at Bretton Woods@75 where Charles and Douglas were both speakers. They discuss the role work plays in our lives, and explore some of the new ways economic systems might be structured in order to put humans at the center.

This week’s Team Human also includes a monologue recorded live from Bretton Woods@75.
