Collective Evolution with Joe Martino

In this episode, Joe and Chris explore the complexities of market economies, the illusion of freedom in ownership, and the challenges posed by competition. They discuss how the current system is designed to prioritize profit over community and well-being, leading to ecological and social issues. They discuss the potential for alternative economies and the importance of rebuilding the commons through community-driven initiatives. The conversation also includes some practice steps toward exploring a solution now that could allow people to exist outside of the current market while still being able to participate in the market. Chris Agnos is the creator of The People’s Library, a vision for a parallel economy built on cooperation, shared access, and care. After years of exploring the root causes behind inequality, environmental destruction, and social disconnection, Chris came to a powerful realization: the market itself—with its foundations in competition, ownership, and profit—is driving the very crises we’re trying to solve. What is the People’s Library? The People’s Library is a new kind of economy—one that exists alongside markets but isn’t defined by profit, ownership, or competition. Inspired by the simplicity of a public library, it’s a system where food, housing, transportation, tools, and more are shared within a community, not bought or sold. Instead of working just to survive, people contribute meaningfully to their communities and access what they need—without rent, debt, or scarcity. It’s about freedom, purpose, and thriving together.
