Cultural Shifts and Economic Realities

This chapter examines the transition of societal focus from racial and educational issues to economic concerns due to the rise of global capitalism and neoliberalism from the 1960s to the 1990s. It discusses the implications of viewing individuals as economic entities and the cultural tensions arising from the intersection of economic and spiritual fulfillment. The speakers reflect on the necessity of ambitious leadership and problem-solving in addressing societal challenges, advocating for a culture that seeks greater aspirations beyond material wealth.
