It's really great to be joined today by Peter Joseph,

and author of the new book which I have here

I really enjoyed going through most of the book

what you're tackling in this particular book,

or a broader perspective than we otherwise might.

Is that a good way to assess the general idea of this book?

Was it that, in your time researching individual topics,

you decided hey, there's a broader issue or a broader perspective

we can look at? Did it come in the opposite direction?

Did you enter with one particular issue, like for example

poverty or hunger, both of which you address in the book?

I would say the motivation to approach it this way is

taking a good hard look at what we've done as activists throughout time.

they separate themselves into different schools so to speak,

you have the ecological activists, the social activists and so on.

And after spending a lot of years as an activist myself

I realized that there was a strong lapse of any kind of social psychology,

anything that related to sociology itself,

denying effectively the long-standing social science,

the biological science, the psychological science,

the sociological science, the ecological influences

and that synergy that really defines us as human beings

and ultimately defines the state of the world.

So I'm trying to take a social science perspective with this book,

and that is why its called 'The New Human Rights Movement.'

given the context of structuralism as I call it,

you could apply it to a lot of different things,

but I wanted to hone in on activism for the 21st century.

So that's the motivation, to get people on board with more of a

social psychology perspective of what needs to happen,

to understand yourself and the predicament of the world

of one issue  that you tackle in the book

we could talk a little bit about poverty, and

the people we know, who approach poverty from you know:

despite our system, poverty is an inevitability.

It's always there, it's always going to be there."

which is: poverty is an optional and also direct result

So, can we start with the conversation around poverty

Poverty is, in the words of Gandhi, "the worst form of violence."

Systemically speaking, it leads to so many different

detrimental outcomes, whether you're dealing with mental health,

whether you're dealing with interpersonal relationships,

whether you're dealing with physical health.

And if you look closely poverty and its encapsulating system,

overarching system reference which you call socioeconomic inequality

(which is what I address throughout the book a lot),

it's a great starting point because I think everyone

has experienced poverty on some basic level, whether

and the complete destitution that still exists there today

but I think it's important to point out that people have this great mythology

about where poverty came from and people say

"Well, we've just left people behind in capitalism" and so on.

The people in the Global South, in Africa, Latin America, Asia and so on that

are still in destitute third world poverty,

are not there because they've been left behind,

they're there because over the course of time they've effectively been robbed.

And that's something that isn't given enough gravity of course

in the intellectual circles as to why these things exist,

which makes you kind of upset when you hear people talk about

how we've advanced poverty on this planet without

talking about the fact that the reason poverty exists

is because of the social system's incentives

But to be more specific to your question, poverty is both

a cause and an effect in terms of epidemiology.

In social science research, people refer to poverty as
