n this episode, we engage in a thought-provoking discussion on an article by Santiago Duran, a clinical psychologist with a background in marketing, who argues that every human relationship is fundamentally a transaction.Drawing from two key influences, he examines how institutional power, as explored by Michel Foucault, shapes our definitions of “normal” and “abnormal,” and how Family Constellation Therapy reveals the hidden dynamics of order and balance in relationships.Expanding the idea of transactions beyond economics, Duran explores how reciprocity and mutual benefit—whether emotional or practical—are at the core of all interactions. He challenges the ideal of absolute independence, advocating instead for healthy interdependence and fair exchanges.Finally, the episode questions whether the push to “humanize” interactions can sometimes introduce biases that undermine fairness and efficiency. By understanding the transactional nature of relationships, could we actually improve the way we connect with others?Support My WorkI love sharing insights, ideas, and experiences that spark conversations and inspire new perspectives.
