Especially when it comes to our personal finances, we have a culture of shame and secrecy surrounding money. Why is money so hard to talk about? Is it a bad thing? Is this "money shame" a problem for society or is it useful in some way? Is it both? Today, people go to great lengths to hide their poverty *and* to hide their wealth. How would basic income influence how we feel, how we think, and how we talk about our personal finances? Featured guest Conrad Shaw will dig into these questions with us. As a writer, Conrad has explored the intersection of basic income and human nature. For optional reading, we have a brand new Medium article by Conrad entitled, "The Shame that Binds Us." https://medium.com/basic-income/the-shame-that-binds-us-700a66375a61 You can access the Zoom meeting here: https://zoom.us/j/402968564 Starting at 7pm, we will make introductions and establish parameters for the discussion.
