This week’s Economic Democracy newsletter begins with two articles from the summer 2023 magazine that focus on the question of racial capitalism—what it is, how it operates, and how to dismantle it—with sites of struggle ranging from finance to technology to land ownership. Then, from our ongoing series on “Owning the Economy: Stories from Latinx Communities,” we offer a story of community organizing against displacement in Prince George’s County, Maryland—near Washington, DC. Lastly, an article on the arts and arts workers asks us to consider how to build an arts sector that reflects community values, with a vision rooted in economic democracy.
