On this week's show, Dr. Fraad and Julianna Forlano discuss the difference between the life of a Walmart worker with that of a Mondragon worker.

In our capitalist nation, the mass of workers come home depleted and disempowered by work days that are long ,boring, and anything but creatively empowering.
