Gabor Mate on Illness, Human Nature, Capitalism, and Socialism
North Americans are sick, stressed, and alienated, a state of affairs accentuated in recent years by Covid. The Hungarian-Canadian physician Gabor Mat\xe9 argues that capitalism engenders illness, while the medical system blindly ignores the lives of its patients. Mat\xe9 discusses individual and collective change, while reflecting on human nature, alienation and rightwing politics, and the work of Karl Marx. \nResources:\nGabor Mat\xe9, MD with Daniel Mat\xe9, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture Avery, 2022\nThe post Gabor Mat\xe9 on Illness, Human Nature, Capitalism, and Socialism appeared first on KPFA.
