Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly looks at how we build a just economy. Nwamaka Agbo of the Kataly Foundation writes about restorative economics—a community-based approach that centers repair and healing. In our community development leaders of color series, Marietta Rodriguez of NeighborWorks reminds us that how infrastructure spending occurs is as important as what it is spent on. We also include an article that examines how economics is taught, telling the history of a cooperative economics program backed by W.E.B. DuBois at a historically black college that was quashed in the 1930s. We also feature a podcast that suggests that ending homelessness may be as much about building community as homes.
