What Happens When You Put Culture Inside the Economy
🎙️ Episode 3 Title: What Happens When You Put Culture Inside the Economy
Podcast Series: First Nations Economics
Episode Description:
In this third episode, Gija man and First Nations economist Ben Ainsworth explores what shifts when First Nations cultural values aren’t just acknowledged, they’re embedded directly into economic decision-making.
Ben breaks down how Western models of productivity and value creation often miss the mark when applied to Indigenous business. He explains how culturally grounded economies define success differently, prioritising community wellbeing, continuity of culture, and connection to Country.
This episode challenges conventional thinking about productivity, return on investment, and economic “growth” and offers a compelling case for redesigning the system from the inside out.
