Capitalism tells us we owe wages to bosses, taxes to the state, and payments to banks — obligations measured in money and debt. But what do we truly owe each other as human beings? In this episode, Justin explores the history of obligation, from religion and philosophy to contracts and credit, and contrasts it with moments of solidarity like mutual aid and community care. He lays out contributionism’s answer: that we owe each other survival, dignity, and stewardship of the future — not as burdens, but as joyful contributions.
