The Cognitive Dissonance of "Getting Rich" and Imagining a Better "American Dream"

I recently wrote an article reflecting on the fact that an awareness of the systems you exist within can empower you to make even savvie r individual decisions for yourself. But sometimes, when you’re carving out a safe, secure, full life under capitalism, the thing that’s better for you makes things worse for others . So it leads me to this question: How do we have a good relationship with money in an uncertain world, and how do we stay true to our ethical code while taking care of ourselves and our futures? I wanted to invite two people I admire—feminist writer Caroline Burke and author, artist, and bookkeeper Paco de Leon —to talk about it more.
