Inflation & Manufactured Poverty

The pressures of the economic system reach far beyond the workplace and into our most private spaces. Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad examines the direct, often unspoken, connections between market forces and our daily emotional realities. Dr. Fraad, a psychotherapist, brings a unique lens to how financial stress and cultural values shaped by capitalism influence our mental health, intimate relationships, and family dynamics. This isn't just a discussion of theory; it's a concrete look at why we feel the way we do about work, love, and our place in society. Each episode of this podcast digs into topics like the commodification of dating, the psychological toll of precarious employment, and the struggle for personal well-being within a profit-driven world. The conversation is both personal and political, offering clarity on how systemic economic conditions create individual crises. By tuning in, you’ll find a framework for understanding your own experiences within a broader social context. Released every other week, this podcast from d@w Inc. provides a consistent and deep exploration of the intersection where the economy meets the heart and mind, fostering a necessary dialogue about personal life under capitalism.
