Does our currency drive participation in a disciplinary system that conditions a consumer society? Surplus goods created by industrial production require an acceptable set of behaviors, reinforced by a financial establishment of rewards and punishments. Though the people reliant on disciplinary institutions are used to playing by the rules, what happens when the game changes suddenly?<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Extraenvironmentalist #13<\/strong> we speak with Ashvin Pandurangi<\/a>, writer for The Automatic Earth<\/a> <\/em><\/em> on his series of articles that describe the Debt-Dollar Discipline<\/a>, the global system of currencies backed by the U.S. Dollar that define the choice sets available to us. We ask about how finance, currency, education and our institutions create a rigid disciplinary guideline. Ash, Seth and Justin ponder the question of whether a global system that slowly empties its gas tank can handle a rapid disintegration and a population in developed nations accustomed to discipline.<\/p>\n
