From Greater Good Magazine: According to Dr. Gabor Mate, capitalism plays an important role in childhood trauma. Because our political and social systems do not support families and schools, parents and teachers are unable to meet children’s basic human needs for attachment and connection.
“…the essence of capitalism is to separate the mind from the body. And, basically, people are all considered material goods. People matter only insofar as they produce, consume, or own matter. If you donât produce, consume, or own matter, then you donât matter in this society.”
