Today I read about how Native Americans in Wisconsin would view the hoarding of food and resources by white people as a sort of mental illness. Their point of view was that a wealthy person is one who gives it all away and creates a web of reciprocal relationships. To them, to want to hold and claim more than was needed was an affront to the community. I wonder about how capitalism affected people during the enclosure period, when so much of the commons was converted to private property. Perhaps there was an epigenetic distress pattern that white people brought to America that said not to trust the commons and get and hold private property. I know that it is a distress pattern because so many people people have so much more than they actually need and they keep acquiring more. How do we recover from this distress as a nation?
